Hi Richard, Welcome to a new and massively fun way to drive. ICE'rs have no idea.
Having now built two cars, the first on www.evalbum.com/1454 is a Lotus Elise which was my daily drive until I completed a kit car Vortex GTEV which is a great winter car with greater range and warm with it. Both my cars use Siemens water cooled AC motors and I would recommend you considering AC as no clutch or gears are required. Just leave fixed in third. I do have a spare if you are interested. Your main consideration is the battery space. Unless the Minor is to be a play thing, you need maximum cell capacity for a reasonable range. My Elise uses 94 x 50Ah cells and has a range of 60 miles. The Vortex has 100 x 100Ah cells with around 120 miles range. Download cell specs from CALB or another and see how much room can be found in the front, where the fuel tank is and in the boot. If you need any more help or info, contact me on the Email from the evalbum site as I am UK based. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Morris-Minor-Conversion-tp4665799p4665804.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
