adaptor plate 2

Today was the first day M. transmission met M. EV motor. although the motor still weight 150+pounds, it went well. By comparing both part, I could figure exactly what i need.

Forget about my nice CAD drawing. I will get to basic with this project” KISS!”. first, I will use a 15”x15′ x1/2” aluminum plate (about 35$) to cover my transmission. Then i will use 9” tubbing as a spacer between the motor and the transmission. the length of the space need to be precisely measure but it will be around 1 ”to 1.125 ”. I rather aluminium tubing to steel for weight . and corrosion resistance. But I dont think i will have a lot of choice.

I need to order that tomorrow. The last piece needed is actually the most important: the adaptor piece that will fit the key way to the flywheel that has 8 bolt. I want to see if i can use the part on my motor instead of making it all over.

The flywheel and the clutch need to be align. I will visite a garage near to my house to align that.

Here are many pictures…enjoy

2/0 welding cable arrives tomorrow and I will prepare at least one cable on the motor. I spend about 2 hour on the phone and on internet to find a 12 V pump that can pass more that 2 GAL/min in my controller. I might finally use one on 120V ac since there are more cheaper.
