Mine is still perched in the back of my Baja Bug. It fits, but the front mount is undesigned. The back mount it trivial, it will be a flat plate with four holes. I think the differential centerline is moved back less than an inch.

I'm currently working on getting lights and compressed air into the workspace. No way I'm going to crack that thing open, now that I've heard about getting ferrous cruft all over the rare earth magnets.

Edit: Normally this would go to the Aerodynamics subforum, but it is on topic here.

What could Toyota do with the Highlander/RH400H parts bin? Put the V-6 and MGR1 and 2 in the back and put MGR3 in the front. Neat.

Hey Freebeard

Can I get a few pictures of how that gear box sits in your rig? A friend of mine is also into Bugs and is considering an electric conversion. He is not too crazy about the huge DC motors and is going AC anyway soooo...
