I had to swap sides with the rear brakes since I turned the differential around backwards for the Polaris motor to work.These brakes are mechanical w/ cables and the lever has to face forward. I had to pull the axles to swap the brake backing plates, since I had all of it apart I sand blasted everything on the rear end & painted everything. I should be getting my new driven pulley tomorrow so mounting the engine can proceed forward. I've got new brakes now.
I did a rotation check to see if reverse & forward had a different gearing- the simple test was to rotate the pulley shaft and count the rotation on the wheel/tire for a full revolution, Now forward is 6.25 turns- reverse was 6.0 turns, so it'll go faster in reverse than forward but not by much. We'll see soon enough how fast it'll go.
