Moving the motor around is no easy task

I needed to do a little bit of extra grinding to allow for the transaxle

to fit in without rubbing on the adapter plate

Motor and tranny joined together for test run.

I have been chasing around getting the welding wire and the lugs to connect the batteries. There is a recession so the price of copper is going up. At least that is what someone told me.

Great news is that I got the adaptor plate back from the machinist and it is fantastic! I bolted it all together and gave it a test run with a 12 volt battery. It all worked fine. The next thing is to put it into the EV.
