Default BEC reverse gear.

Hi All, been helping a mate of mine finish off his car. We have put a ZX10 engine into an MK Indy he bought as an unfinished project of the bay. We have got to the stage where we have to fathom out a reverse gear, does anybody know where we can get the gear cut, or buy one ready cut. We have tried MK and they aren't really interested in supplying the gear.
Not really sure where to go from here.

Thanks

Shaun

HPC gears wanted £122 for a gear cut iv just enquired for

use a MK4 golf starter

you will have to make a mount bracket for the starter and try to mount it in such a way that the solenoid on the starter doesnt stick through the floor too much - or mount it high of the prop if theres space

if you go through the floor just make a shield for the starter to
a. keep out the crud
b. maybe strong enuff to avoid hitting it
