Bob, I have looked at your website several times and although you have
MANY interesting vehicles and projects, the Woodie is my favorite. The
wood is beautiful and the workmanship displayed in putting all the
pieces together is outstanding. Great work.
I am very sorry that your health is

That works well for cars; but not for trains. Diesel-electrics have no

I also had good luck taking C-car parts into a good local parts jobber - an
old-school place, not your basic Autozone or whatever chain. In the chain
places, if your car isn't in the computer, they're pretty much hopeless.
These guys would keep the part for a few days, and look through their
Does anyone know for sure if the EVCC will work with the Elcon 6.6KW charger?
The EVCC manual is a bit unclear, as it's description of working with the Elcon
doesn't seem to match with the description of the Elcon.

IMHO the $420 premium for the 6.6 kW Elcon package is worth it over the
added complexity and only 4.4 kWh charging for the dual TMS2500.
(Speaking as someone who did the dual TMS package a while back but I
think the cost savings were more back then.)

When looking for springs, it might just be worth contacting a company
that makes springs.
Quite a few of them have website based spring designers and for simple
compression and tension springs, you can often order direct from the
website.

I have been moving a lot of stuff around the past few months - mostly
for other people - but I have unearthed a control column cover and power
switching tower for an Elcar. I think I also still have a set of 'pink
prints' of the vehicle electric schematics around here somewhere -

David, thank you for this info. Dach also sent me some suggestions on
where to look for the springs. The EVlist is such a great resource when
one wants to find EV parts.

I don't know the brake chronology of C-cars, so this may not help.
