Last weekend, test fitting the motor (ie my mounts) didn't go so well. Far enough off on the front trans mount as to frustrate me, so I walked away from it for a few days, and worked on another "EV" project that I picked up that same weekend:
Not bad for $20. Had a bad battery, and no charger, but that was it. I had both laying around, so it's up and running.
No, it's not for me. I'm too dang heavy for it. But my kid loves it.
But, once that was done, I was ready to try again. After modifying the front trans mount to line things up properly yesterday, I was able to try seeing if it fit last night/this morning:
It fits! Or, since it's past participle, I guess it "fat".
Axles fit too!!!!
...good timing for the replacement passenger side to show up yesterday!
There's even proper clearance around the CV joint on the passenger side, which I didn't even think about when I was putting the axles in.
Still have one more mount to make, but there's now lots of room to get at that tail shaft:
Pudding:
Not much more and I'll be past this annoying mechanical phase...
