Electric Ranger Conversion Project

The project, to take a standard Ford ranger and convert to electric vehicle for local use due to the high costs of fuel.
Having already built a electric bicycle and electric ATV, I thought it is time for this project.
I have chosen a 144 volt system with a Netgain Warp-9 motor, Curtis 1231c controller.

Mounting plate continued


The aluminum plate finally arrived after a shipping mix up. I cut and drilled it and the mounting plate for the motor. I found that I will need to shorted the transmission shaft or space the motor off the mounting plate 1/2 inch. I decided to cut the shaft being easier and faster.
I also had to drill out the locating dowels for the plate so the bolts will pass through them.
All that is needed is some new bolts and drill the frame for the middle motor mount.
