For $1000 You Can Turn Cardboard into Aluminum


An integral part of the drive assembly has been completed. Pictured here is the adapter plate that I had a local machine shop fabricate for me - along side the cardboard template that I made. The adapter was made from a 2 inch thick piece of aluminum plate. It connects the electric motor to the original bellhousing at the correct distance to allow for coupling the shafts together.

right on dude
hit all the nails right on
i would rather walk too.

Here in vancouver, bc area I have seen a Fiero and RX7 converted, sporty, but may lose handling with all lead acid batteries.

Your conversion is right on the money, just make sure you can still do a burnout. If you go automatic, you may need to keep the torque converter for this.
