David, I'm cc:ing the EVDL list on this reply to your note below. I would recommend that you subscribe, and get recommendations there, in addition to what those on this list may have to offer. There are a number of extremely knowledgeable EV DIYers on that list, who thrive on helping others with their EV projects. Good luck with your mods, and enjoy your EV!
