Picture of Adapter/Mouting Stackup
February 20, 2007 by Rob.
Mounting the motor to the transmission is the part of the whole EV project that caused me the most stress in the early days! How I long for those simpler days 
This composite picture shows how the transmission, adapter (was the clutch), mounting plate, and spacers all stack together. The white alignment tool is used to ensure they are centered to 0.005″ for final assembly. I needed extra spacers because I did not want to cut down the transmission shaft.

Open Garage: Sunday 2/25 1 to 5 PM
February 20, 2007 by Rob.
All,
I’m going to stick with my plan for an Open Garage on Sunday 2/25 from 1 to 5 PM. Please RSVP by commenting on this post.
My clutch adapter, alignment tool, and spacer arrived today. My plan for Sunday is to cut out the mounting plate and start the mounting process. I tested this with my rip saw and it worked. I’ll also have the grinder with a diamond blade.
I may be a little sleepy - we’re planning to watch the Intel Shell implosion on Sunday @ 7 PM.
