UN1 Technical Specifications

[f1karting]

Hi all.. I am working on a UN1 conversion for my S3T and need to locate information and technical drawings for the renault box. In particular:

1) exploded and cross section drawings

2) bolt torque specs

3) setup specifications including clearances, preload and backlash.

Any help would be appreciated. thx

might be of some help. Plus Derek Bell's just set up a new website for his conversion.

Is Marcus' gearbox at PUK Esprit the same as Derek Bell's, or a clone? If it is different, does anyone have any experience comparing one to the other?

Hi John,

It actually is the Derek-Bell one he originally designed for the UN1 and the parts made by Quaife. The parts for the current Derek-Bell upgrade unfortunately are not longer mady by Quaife he now gets them from Jack Knight IIRC ... it seems that the reason for the switch to JK was to lower the price. The Quaife parts are way more expensive but seem to offer higher quality. Thats my personal opinion, of course.

We still get the parts from Quaife (in cooperation with Ramspott & Brandt) on special order.

Cheers

Marcus

Thanks, Marcus. I think it will be on my list of upgrades for next winter! I still have the "I want", but I don't have all of the "I can" ! As you know, I've done a fair bit this season, and look forward to more next year.

John.
