501x layshaft one way

[Welshy40]

Ok, I know Jimmy said that there is a picture on the site for a proto type layshaft (however its not on the Southport or any other national in 2007)with a one way on it.

I am not a fan of the one way unit on the 501x and want to have two working diffs and a one way on the layshaft. This also gives more options such as being able to over tighten or loosen so the diff slips etc etc.

My ideas are using either a Tamiya TA05 or TRF415 16 tooth one way pulley and making it fit. To cut the blue layshaft gear holder (by the motor side) and keep enough to slide over and attach the one plastic gear that i have not replaced to it, giving drive to the rear. This of course will be sitting next to the one way unit, and all i need figure is if I am required to file the layshaft to make a flat section or leave as is etc etc.

The only problem I have though is if there is a prototype out there, which one way was used (TRF415 and if so which one of the two, or the TA05 unit). Both are 16 tooth one ways.

It seems a pretty simple alternative to what is available for the car, so if anyone knows anything relating to this please let me know, as I dont really want to overspend and buy all three units, when all I need is one.

Jimmy,

Interesting, any ideas what parts were used? I have been contimplating a TRF415 one way and bascially cutting parts off the blue alloy layshaft section so one plastic pulley is used and the other the 415 layshaft. Not sure which one tho as there are two available.
