Hey guys
Got into Florida last night. Altermotor is sitting in the garage along with the Honda IMA controller/inverter and Ford EV controllers/inverters.

Hope to get things out in the open today and get this party started. Hope Paul has a few minutes to get on here and help with a few questions I have. Thingstodo, E-clipse, and others I hope will chime in.

Need Engineering assistance badly.

Actual measurements of the altermotor are 8" long, possible a 1/2" shorter if the water cooling tubes need to be modded a bit, and, yes, the case part of the power connections can be removed, leaving the case open at that location. It measures 7 1/2" in diameter and with a 1 1/2" long shaft.

The resolver takes a 10 conductor cable, which the yard effectively cut, so, testing which wire is which will need to be sorted. Power cable is also cut, but the connector and rubber cover are intact.

More later as I dig for the controllers.
