This is Daox posting for xpedro01. I'm on his mailing list for email updates on the project and I asked Tom if I could share. He agreed, so enjoy!

============================

The pieces have all been to the machinist, he has done his good work and I have one installed in the car. He said he got a good press fit. It took 7 tons of pressure to install the Honda axle.





NOW LOOK below!!



I think I have found my first big mistake (if I don't count starting this project).
This shows the Leaf power train is Too far forward and will not permit the steering to go lock to lock. It will probably take me several weeks to correct. It will require removing and relocating the small anti sway bar, and removing the sub frame and re working it a little. I just did not notice that and was so happy the way things fit in. I do have room to do what is necessary, but the project could take lots of time--weeks, at the speed I travel. I will keep you all posted. This was not in the schedule. xpedro01.
