January 14, 2012 ........ WELCOME MICHAEL R. Mike is participating in our "ASSISTED PROGRAM". Michael has a 2001 Honda Civic he wants to convert from Gas to Electric. He and steve started this project on January 14th.. This is a "no rush job" , as Michael has time and money, he will come to our shop and work on HIS project. His GOAL is to have this converted and READY for SHOW AND SHINE at our 14th Annual Electric Car Rally on April 28th !!
Come on Folks.. give this man some applause !!! Lets see if he can do it !!
This is great hands on experience for our customers. Assisted Program is only $45.00 per hour ( vs. our regular Full Service Conversion rate of $60.00 an hour) IF Steve helps. If our customer can work on his own, no charge, and IF he can be doing something while STEVE is doing something then two jobs get done for the one fee of Steve's time.
Day 1 : First... out comes the GAS Motor.:
DAY 2: They then removed the Exhaust System and Gas tank... Cut out the Trunk area and started to make Battery Boxes. Mike decided on NO AC. We could have kept it, but that would take a little of the Battery energy.
Michael has decided on GOLF CART BATTERIES for this conversion. 6V Golf Cart Batteries are economical, but give good service, good Amps and good performance. Steve Started the Battery Racks today while Mike worked on the AC and cleaning up the front engine compartment.
DAY 3. Starting on Adaper Plate:
This is the Plate for the Motor. We will grind this hole out in the center to exactly 4". Which is the size of the "lip" on the Motor.
We took the Clutch Disc, removed the revits and the clutch pads until all that was left were the spring holders and Spline Hub. We cut the Spring Holders off and machined the hub to be the same diameter.
Here is the Lovjoy Hub, boared out to fit the Spline Clutch Disc Hub.
This is the HUB pressed in to the Lovjoy Coupler. We put a large bolt through this and tighten it down
We are using a Lovjoy Hub, size L110.
Michael was called home........soooo Stay tuned for his next visit to the Green Shed to complete his EV.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
HEEEEEE"S BACK !!!! - March 2012
Steve and Mike (PAMPAW to his grandchildren) got the Motor IN the Honda Now Know as the MPR CAR, New CV Joints, and a FIRST ride... all in 2 days time !!
It was a very tight fit for the WarP 9 Motor, but there was just enough room, to be able to hang the Power Steering pump from the Front of the motor and power it from the Tail Shaft.
Never too Young !!
Some kids really enjoy working with tools and spending a day working at the Green Shed. Here Meaghan shows off her full days work ! She and Steve converted an old smelly gas mini bike to this Lithium Powered Electric Fun Cycle !!
Where's that chain guard?
Meaghan spotted an old motor lying around the shop and it happen to fit perfectly !!!
This project only took Steve and Meaghan about 7 hours to complete ... For many kids there is one thing that highlights their summer vacation... Building an Electric Vehicle sure beats being stuck indoors, playing video games all day or hanging out at the Mall !!
Steve gave Meaghan plenty to do on her own. She bolted and un-bolted most of the bolts and even took a stab at Welding !
