Examining the result2244 viewsHere we are looking at the result, and finding that the motors had NOT pressed far enough into the coupler.
We had a 1/2" of extra space to deal with.
We were going to just add a 1/2" spacer, until we did some measuring, and found that the motors were NOT coupled straight. There was a definite wobble.
Putting coupler on 1st motor2663 viewsWe heated the coupler with a torch until it was VERY hot. Then we stil had to pound it down on the shaft.
Not a good sign.
Flywheel adapter boring shaft hole contd2708 viewsAnd finish the hole using a boring bar
Motor-Motor mount test fit2578 viewsHow it fits on one of the motors.
Pulling the engine11367 viewsRemoving the 460cui gas engine. (Having a forklift really made this easier.)
All 762 pounds of it!
2419 viewsAll walls installed.
Note that all wood-wood mounting is by gluing them together, and then using deck screws as well.
AC Power Schematic3582 viewsThis is the schematic for the AC inlet power.
There are both 120V (standard 20A plug) and 240V (CS6375) AC power inlets.
Each has a separate breaker, and only 1 breaker can be ON at a time due to a mechanical interlock.
120V, 20A charge port3855 viewsAs you can see, it has the sideways prong to only allow a 20A rated cord to plug into it.
I'll carry an adapter for those times I need to plug into a 15A or less outlet.

Cables into bed6631 viewsThis shows how I mounted and protected the cables that run from the front of the truck into the bed.
All under-truck cables are in some kind of conduit, or have a shield between them and the ground.May 29, 2009
Breaker Boxes4627 viewsThe black box on the left has 3 Airpax 250A DC breakers. These will have a bar bolted to their handles so they all switch together.
The other box has the 2 breakers for the charging system.May 29, 2009
Rear Battery box in truck6124 viewsThis is the rear Battery Box that will hold 42 Golf Cart batteries in the bed of the truck.
