Could you provide links to those other forum threads?

My understanding, as far as it goes, is that FOC benefits from deriving the C-phase from the A- and B-phase[s]. Not sure how that would affect or be affected by a delta configuation.

My plan is to advance the state of the art for electric Beetle conversions from the current DC boat anchor/lead-acid battery paradigm. So I'm contemplating an unmodified MGR and a bolt-in installation. So far the original front transmission to the front of the MGR looks to be the biggest hurdle. Simplest would be to bolt or weld a new crossmember into the sheet metal.

I hope to find that a shrouded cooling fan will be sufficient; else, like e*clipse intends, it will be drilled and tapped for an external oil cooler.
