Well this is some seriously impressive EV conversion work chaps! I applaud your handiness & patience! Any idea when your projects will be finished?

I’ve taken the slightly lazy approach with my 110, and paid someone to do all of the heavy lifting for me! Fingers crossed the base build should be ready by the end of spring for inspection!

I'm hoping to have mine on the road this summer.

If you click on 'More Options' you can drag and drop photos onto the white box. These will then be added as if you uploaded a file.
Edit: I think it also works if you drag and drop a photo onto the quick reply box.
 
Finally uploaded an update image, dropped the engine two months ago.

Once that was complete, I moved on to start working on the -booster brake kit fitment.
This is the original brake pedal cradle

This is the modified brake cradle and extra brake booster holes drilled out to accommodate the ibooster

The brake pedal was fitted and all looked and worked well. Once the electrical is complete I will wire this for full tests and operation after bleeding exercises.

Now I moved to start fitting the electric steering rack...started by marking out and cutting the new steering hole

Next was adjusting the steering rack wiring to fit the tight angles by cutting and re-soldering the sensor wiring to fit the new smaller space
