Most of the holes will be screw holes of about 4-5mm diameter but there will be one big one that may be 50+mm that may also be rough cut to allow an aerial to be pushed through to mount on the plastic wing side bit.

You're not far from me!

I don't know yet. I figured that the conversion will take a while so by the time I am ready new sources may spring to attention. It is likely that I will import from China either on my own or as a group purchase. A chap on the Battery Vehicle Society forum recently imported a small 24V pack for his bike as a trial to see how the import process works and to see if the goods were up to spec. So far so good.

I am currently using the Thundersky specs to determine physical size and possible cell capacity to work out range and how many cells I may be able to afford and fit in the car.

No doubt they will be cheaper and easier to get in 12 months time.
