* The approval came through almost exactly on the 30 days as promised from D.P.I.
* The petrol engine and associated parts came out leaving the little gearbox and the petrol tank to come out. ( will publish the weights chart and pictures later on )
* More measurements and planning took place over some weeks and the project stalled because of extreme heat in the workshop and me finding with the petrol motor finally out, it was going to be a very very tight squeeze to get the electric motor fitted in with the gearbox without some body modifications or fitting the electric motor above the gearbox and coupling with chain or V_Belts!
* While working on mounting arrangements for the motor position. I realised the fan cowling on the end of the ASEA motor was in fact going to give me the extra room if I took it off.
* Off came the cowling ( 4 small M6 screws ) and I have 7-10mm clearance to the chassis.This is OK as long as you dont run along side the vehicle with the bonnet up and put your fingers in there it'll be OK.
* Out came the gearbox, bellhousing & differential shown here alonside the ASEA motor. You'll notice the centre from the clutch plate has been taken out and is sitting on the gearbox input shaft and the pulley from the motor is at the bottom of the photo
* Measurements and more measurements, 5mm steel plate was hastily ordered and the centre spline removed from the clutch plate for mating up to the V-Belt pulley off the ASEA motor. This is the idea as a picture,
