I finally got to the first of many possible mods and added a partial bellypan from front bumper back to sway bar. This is easy in my case because I don't have to contend with a hot exhaust system, my Swift is full electric.
I just had to send my instrumentation back for repair/calibration, so I have not been able to do a direct ABA test. The good news is that when I get the instrument back, I should be able to post VERY accurate measurements in kWhr/mile over fixed test course... measuring the actual electric power consumption is easier than gasoline consumption.
I have some pictures of the construction process on
my build website.
If other people want the final 'pattern' I could consider removing and tracing onto some fabric or something for a small fee to cover my time and materials...
I just wanted to let people know what I started with (because I wanted to protect electric motor from water and mud); and that I will have the capability for very accurate measurement soon...
