hi guys, i want to put a pro motive kit in my car, but in australia its required by law to have reverse.. has anyone figured out a reverse system for the pro motive fwd kit? i know they use a starter motor on a flywheel for the rear engined cars but there isnt as much room in the front engined car for this type of system.. has anyone figured something out yet??

any help would be great,

cheers

Yes martins correct we do have a reverse gear option now. Gear driven and giving the use of 6 fwd and 6 rev gears.

There will be a car at castle combe tomorrow with 1 fitted. If anyone wants a look. It's a Red cooper (H1400 S)

Why not provide pictures and details here on this forum or on your website?
