I use swivel rod end fittings that is a small ball bearing with a hole it in
that is enclose with a bolt thread. I use the standard accelerator cable,
that is connected to a double end swivel fittings, which is two swivel
fittings back to back, which can be adjusted for length and is connected
right to the Curtis level.
You tighten these swivel fittings so the ball is very tight and does not
move, but the swivel housings can move.
You can get these type of fittings from a auto performance store.

DO NOT USE THE SMALLER WIRE it will become a resistor in the circuit and

Subject: [EVDL] wiring questions
Is OK to connect the contactor like an albright 80
directly to a curtis 1205?
I was thinking I could bolt the contactor directly to
B+ without any cable.
Also, is it necessary for my high voltage cable to be
the same size?
If I have a short run between batteries, can I use a
smaller gauge for that.
For example I wire everything with 1/0, but I'll use a
3" piece of 2AWG between two batteries.
Thanks,
Mike

I have that same barrel and the arm of the PB-6 had a series of holes
that that barrel fit right in.
So I made a plate that had the some of the same holes in it and bolted
it to the existing arm with some spacers in it.
The PB-6 was mounted to a long flat plate and I just pulled the cable
housing bracket back until the sag in the cable was gone and bolted it down.
Then I cut a slit in the plate and bent the end up to form a tab that I
drilled a hole in and attached the throttle return spring to.
Relying on the throttle spring in the PB-6 is NOT a good idea.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
To anyone with EV's in the Portland, Oregon and
Vancouver, Washington area. The company that I work
for is interested in having a display of EV's at an
OPEN HOUSE for employees on Sunday, Aug. 26th, where
about 2,000 to 2,500 people will be coming through.
They are interested in promoting GREEN transportation
alternatives, including factory procuction vehicles
like the TEVAN from Dodge, GM S-10 p/u, Ford Ranger
p/u and EV motorcycles and would like to have some EV
conversions to display in support of that. This is a
combination Open House, Safety Fair and Employees
Community Fund function with displays.
I have also offered through the Oregon Electric
Vehicle Assn. and now through the EVDL, to help local
EV owner's to display vehicles by using my own pickup
and a rented car carrier to carry EV's from downtown
Portland out to the plant site if they don't have the
range to come out there and return to downtown. There
will be electrical hookup available for recharging
during the show for those that need it.
Due to travel, load and unload time involved, I may
only be able to help with a few vehicles unless I can
help bring some in the day before and I will have to
check into that, if it is possible. The display area
and cars will be inside the plant grounds and it is
secure and patrolled 24/7, so there is no need for
concern about that. I need to be able to give a list
of names for those displaying to Security before the
Open House, preferably 1 week minimum to have
temporary badges available at the Security Gate and
each person will need to have Picture ID like a
drivers license to receive their ID badge.
If anyone is interested or has questions, please
respond to me by e-mail at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or my
work cell at 971-563-0966. You can call me at home at
360-254-3560 after 4 p.m..

There are pictures I sent to the EV Album, but that picture is not there any
more when they modified the Album for some reason. I will later going to
take a group of pictures of my new modification when I get done. I just
added another rod end linkage system off the accelerator cable to a vacuum
control value for my modified automatic transmission that was converted to a
manual shift type.
I use the same linkage units that are made by Mister Gasket that links
several carbs together.
I will have to find one of those free WEB sits to put up these pictures.

A reasonable candidate for conversion? The car has been in my family
for at least 20 years now and has racked up 310K miles on the original
motor. My father is quick to point out that the little 3.5 still uses
not one drop of oil even though the gaskets are all leaky. *shrug*
Downsides are that it's an automatic (I'm not opposed to installing a
clutchless manual with added floor shifter) and it's heavier than I
originally wanted to go with. Regen would be a must I believe. I do
not know the actual weight of the car... The sticker has just enough
overspray to make it useless.
Upsides are: Since it has been with my father all this time I know
that it's been taken very good care of and mainly needs one pair of
shocks and a new set of bushings. The interior is shot of course but
I'd like to replace the front bench with a pair of buckets if I get
it. It can handle a lot of battery weight until lithiums come down in
price. Also, as it's a F/R setup direct driving with a largeish motor
is a possibility (may hinder regen attempts?)
I'm still pondering it and haven't given my dad a decision yet but the
car would be nearly, or completely, free to purchase and easy/cheap to
work on. Add to that the heirloom status and it seems like a good
choice. It's currently his daily driver so I can continue driving it
as is for the time being and get my current car fixed up right so I
have a reliable vehicle during the conversion....
And it's a Chevy. } ; ]

Tell you what. Since the Milburn is built for range and not speed,
challenge Wayland and the White Zombie to a range contest. See who can

I credit a ride in an 1917 Detroit Electric in 1978 as the turning point
in getting me to actually get my own EV. It was so smooth, elegant, and
refined, that it proved to me that EVs really can work exceptionally well!

You could, but I wouldn't. The contactor and controller both have rigid
buss bars. Even any slight movement between them will put a lot of
stress on the seal of the controller and the bakelite body of the
contactor. The contactor also hammers a bit when it opens a closes. All
this could easily crack the controller's seal or contactor's bakelite.
I'd mount them near each other, and use a flat strip of copper with an
S-bend in it to connect them. The S-bend takes up any misalignment or
stress.
> Also, is it necessary for my high voltage cable to be
> the same size?
No. You pick wire sizes based on how much heat they can dissipate, and
how much voltage drop you can accept. A short run can be smaller gauge
because it gets heat-sunk by its ends and the voltage drop per foot is
still low enough not to matter.

The weight of this vehicle is about 3500 lbs. Removing the motor, exhaust
lines, and gas tank takes you to about 2900 lbs.
Adding a motor, controller, battery charger and about 2000 lbs of Pb-acid
batteries, cabling, contactors, add about 2500 lbs, so you are about 5400
lbs now.
If you spread the weight about 50/50 percent than you will have about 2700
lbs per axle or about 1350 lbs per wheel. You can then use a wheel design
for about 1800 lbs and a tire with a load rating of at 1800 lbs. You want a
little more load rating of the tire then the actual weight at the wheel,
because the acceleration and braking thrust will increase these loads on
these wheels.
Also you may have to change the springs, or use air springs instead using
springs and shocks which are made by www.ridetech.com.
The differential axle ratio may have to be increase from the standard 3.01's
to 3.77's to at least 4.11:1 to 4.56:1. I am using a 5.57:1 axle ratio.
The 4.56:1 ratio is still good for 112 mph at 6000 rpm .
If you want to replace any item on the vehicle in the same exact factory
condition or use other factory type items, for a Concur condition, I use the
National Parts Depot or NPD.
It is best to call them for a catalog that is design for you car. The phone
numbers at to several different locations as:
California Depot - 800-235-3445
Michigan Depot - 800-541-6104
North Carolina - 800-368-6451
Florida Depot - 800-874-7595
I also use a lot of jegs.com products on this type of car which is the
transmissions, shifters, vacuum pumps, vacuum canisters, light weight
flywheels, clutches and pressure plates, differential ring and pinion sets,
motor mounts, transmission mounts, shocks, tires and wheels,

John;
This is a little late, but I got my copy of the Wall Street Journal.
It must have been your story that had everyone sold out.
I had to go to 5 places before I finally got one.
This is tremendous exposure for EV's !
I'm going to hang it on the cabinet right where I'm building my 1965
Datsun Truck.
I figure it will help keep me motivated.
Keep pushing the envelope.

does anyone have experience with NS-2 Nankang tires? some say they are
poor quality (they are cheap) and that may have something to do with
becoming stiff in cold weather and losing grip or other factors but I
was wondering if maybe they had low rolling resistance by any chance

Michaela,
48 volt DC is a common voltage in telecommucations.
Sometimes they are called recitifers and used like
battery chargers. You can probably find a commerical
unit and maybe an used or surplus one at that. Often
they a configured for 110 V AC input, but could work
(?) with 144 V DC. Also, try looking at the Vicor web
site.

So are you saying that since all my batteries are within a couple of inches,
instead of using 2/0 cable, I could get away with smaller wires between each
one? Then from the batteries to my curtis 1231C, and from the 1231 to the
motor, I would use 2/0 cable again. And if they can be smaller, how small
would be too small? Would 1 awg be too small for 500 amps, for an inch or two?
Thanks,Brian
