I've started my conversion. The 2000 Ford Focus SE has had all of the ICE components removed, vehicle has been degreased, IB5 transmission has been cleaned and painted. The donor car is in excellent shape...no rust...underbody looks almost new.

Motor and Controller have arrived.
Here's a listing of some of my parts (most are ordered and on the way)
....any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I'm planning using the IB5 manual transmission and clutch
AC-50 Motor
1238-7601 Curtis Controller
40 Bestgo 200ah batteries
Ligoo FT-12 BMS
TCCH PFC battery charger
and a whole bunch of other smaller parts, etc.

Here's my question: I would like to use the Throttle Position Sensor portion of the throttle body. Will that work? Any suggestions on how to do the hook up will be appreciated.
By the way, I live in Arizona and am currently doing the work outside...it's 110degrees F....this shade tree mechanic could use a few more trees.
