Let me inter-duce myself. My name is Michael **** and i am wondering
a little about your electric geo metro project. I've got a chance to
pick up a rolling chassis 91 geo metro in the next few weeks and i am
wondering if theirs a way i could get hooked up with a transmission
adapter plate and how much it would cost to have machined right.
Hi Mike -

The adapter plate is actually one of the easiest parts to make yourself. You can do it with regular hand tools.

Both Mike and Paul made their own adapter plates:

and

More info about the ForkenSwift's adapter plate: EV conversion parts: adapter plate - ForkenSwift.com

If you really want to pay someone, they are commercially available. Here's one: Kits and Components
