Hmm, time has passed quickly, Very very little. Got distracted by some other projects, Promise to get back into this late June..

Hi all. Yes. Still have a few sets.. pm me to discuss Steve

Go EV, ... you know you want to.

thanks nick. I'll go with yours. will weld in place today!

I got dimension 4.25" if anyone interested Thanks

Glad you like. My way of contributing to the challenge of restomoding gt6& spitfires. Please let me know if there is any comments/ issues. I've fine tuned over the years so hope to be good fit and easy install.

Been tinkering around mainly with wiring BMS to each battery in front packs (60 in total). Also now crimped a few HV cables to join the 2 front packs. But have now moved onto the Body. Thanks Nick for the pics of the Handbrake guides for rotoflex. Have managed to make something i think is Close enough. But i have a question for any one out there with a Rotoflex. I'm concerned with the Hand brake cable length if i don't get the width correct when i weld them in. I'm thinking the cables would be 5" apart going into the guides. Is any one able to confirm for me ?

Very very impressive work. Thanks for sharing

Bms is zeva made in Australia Evms3 version. Wiring up is next on the list, partly there... Bms has built in precharge resistor and you can see i have 2 HV contactors one will be connected to precharge. The charger is a small 3.3kw elcon CAN controlled by the BMS. Charger is located under the front battery pack next to coolant pump. Can be seen in earlier pics. Still not worked out where to put inlet yet... Regen will be controlled by motor controller gevcu for uqm motor & inverter. Along with And brake pressure switch from hydraulics. Im sure that would be a good heater... I have heater sorted... more just for mot as you call it. Requirement in Australia. Ready for assembly. I Opted for minimalist approach. 12v ceramic heater in original spitfire heater where radiators were. Will send pics when assembling. Should be fine in Melbourne.. have 2 x 200w. Am planning to have in parallel (total 400w) for high temp switch to series 200w for low temp. But also need its own power supply. Which was an oversight from original plans. But all ver low weight.

Hi nick Battery pack. Is relatively small for ev.. 25kwh about 150klm range. But is high voltage 350v so to achieve v i need 108 batteries. Maybe 96 if too heavy. Aiming to be 40kg over. Which is well within the GVW . Can not exceed that in Australia... to keep it simple avoid engineering report etc. 36 pack over original Radiator pos' 24 pack goes where the engine block was 24 pack in replace of fuel tank. 24 pack in boot up against fuel tank-pack

Now building up my battery boxes. Old... Engine Position... Front Pack...

Spent too much time designing my HV contactor / box.... & fitting coolant header tank

Been on the go slow, last few months. ... But some progress, Firstly decided to upgrade brakes at front to the BCC. good option for me (despite the cost) fits TR7 wheels, less weight, 4 pot should be better than old 2 pot...? especially with some extra weight onboard. decided to make bracket to have Flex hoses in U rather than S ... not sure if it is the right thing to do, but looked better to me... only slight mod to the dust shield, left one trimmed, Right to do.! Ears were removed and bent a new but slightly smaller..

To add further clarity. Nick are you able to confirm, the fiesta uk shafts and r100 are the same length. I had assumed so, as they had setup with machined adaptors and common reference to bieng same as r100 and what i was led to be volvo lobro. I concur with zetecspit subby cv have plenty of plunge. Assembled my shafts seem to be only near 5-10 from outer cv snap ring. One option for custom shafts is to have various circlip grooves into splined shaft. Longer is better. You can always cut down
