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) |

Great question. They are way lighter that is true but they have WAAAYYYYY less capacity. What they are great for is the high performance EV. Something like Otmar's. They can dump a whole lot of current in a hurry and they don't weigh a lot. I went for more of a yugo performance but huge range. My range is three to four times as much as you would get with the same amount of AGM bats.
The EV guys are always talking about the lead to steel ratio. If you want range you want a high lead to steel ratio. If you want acceleration then you want a low lead to steel ratio. My car is refered to as a lead sled. <_< |
