After a lot of advice from this board and others I've decided that the endplay on the output flanges can be ignored for now. So..... Let's get this baby back on the road!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Here is the B.F.N. tranny mated to the motor. Yep, that's it. Hook two big fat wires to this thing and it goes! No F'n' ignition, valves, carbs, oil, cams, exhaust, etc..... Attached image(s) |

A little of both. I started with their kit. Great stuff! Very well thought out and quite detailed. Anybody that can swing a hammer and miss their thumbs could do it. As I went along I thought of improvements so I upgraded this and that and modified some things. They are great to deal with but don't bother emailing them. I don't think they operate the computer much. Phone calls are the way to go. It took me 3 months of working a little at a time after work. One of the motor heads on this board could probably do it in a weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
If I ever get hit in the head by a sack of money, I'm going to upgrade the batteries. There is another list I belong to called the EVDL. We've been following the latest battery developments. If you have the money then there are some real scary battery alternatives. Right now it's only the insane wealthy that can do it but that will change. There is a couple of people on the list that have put in Lithium ion batteries. We're all waiting to hear the long term results. |
