Frank > This is a picture of the aluminum plate that will attach the motor to the transmission. Adapter plate kits are sold for bugs, but at the cost of $600.00. We decided to make our own. so with this plate we will drill holes for the transmission and the motor.

Frank > Coating the plate with blue dye for drill holes. The book that is open is a copy of "Convert It", a very popular book for electrical car conversion. You can buy it for about $25.00.

Frank > Now we are ready to drill the holes. The drill press makes drilling easy.

Frank > A close up view of how we made the drill marks. You can see how Justin carefully marked each hole after determining the radius.

Frank > Some wires that need to be removed. I took this picture so I would know how they go back.

Frank > Another wiring picture here. I don't want to forget. That rust in the back ground will be removed and painted soon enough.

Frank > Here is a picture of the motor on the left and the VW flywheel on the right. The shaft of the motor must align with the inner diameter of the flywheel.

Frank > Here is a picture of the aluminum plate mounted to the motor.

Frank > A piece of Stainless steel being machined by Justin. This hunk of steel is used to connect the motor shaft to the flywheel.
