Very good points
Many thanks for those very good points! Thank you also for making one thing clear: that if I can get the machining done, or do it myself (fortunately I have a lathe), the motor before the gearbox would be the better option. There are a few manual transmission hybrid cars these days, e.g. the Fiat 500 and Ford Fiesta... must be a few on scrap yards somewhere. Fiesta would be good, because it's nearer in weight to my car. I have no idea, but I might be able, essentially, to use the components and electronics, adapting them around my car. I think this one rates as "ninja" on the scale of Ecomodder modifications, right? :-)
