been wondering that too. car will be "vacuumed" of anything not needed,
seats, panels, dashboard some glass replaced with plastic...
only thing inside will be steering wheel, driver seat, me-n-my wide one.
dont suspect a constant 10 horse push to produce much of a yaw
how much power does it take to push a small 2000lbs vehicle @ 60MPH
on a flat freeway?
at this point i am thinking to keep the splined shaft floating with 1" play or so
reason being the desire to use only 1 CV joint and to have the electric motor
soft mounted so it will auto align itself at all times, making provisions of course
for torque mounting.
if this idea is as easy to implement as i think it could be one could pull back a lot of older vehicles from the brink of extinction - and likely make them more efficient than some of the cleaner running vehicles you could by today.
