Default Re: Model T Ring gear,

America Bantam and Crosley cars had small rear axles but they may be too small and have too low a ratio . It would be interesting to know what diameter and ratio may be optimal.

The gears are made from a chunk of steel but the cutting hobb or hobbs needed to machine them can be quite expensive to have made. Not every machine shop has a gear hobbing machine.
