Part 6 Half a Car Installing the Motor and Back Axle.

Part 6 Half a Car Installing the Motor and Back Axle.

This is the start of the motor mount, its a 400mm by 600mm by 9mm MDF using the old motor mount from the scooter i used this to drill the holes in the right place so the bolts lined up with the motor mounts. there is a nut holding the bolt in place. then a nut washer rubber bushing washer and a nut on top this holds all in place the nut in the middle can be moved up and down to set the height of the motor.


Lower Photos you can see the nut arrangement better the rubber bushing act as damper for the motor


there needs to be a slit cut in to the ~MDF as the gear box sits a bit low 


upper photo has the slit cut in to it i think its the for the gearing for the Diff 


upper photo the motor is sitting on the damper and the upper nut so this can be raised up and down for the drive shaft. this takes a bit of faffing as the motor needs to be level for the shaft once this is in place and there is no more adjusting to do it can be screwed down to the tub 


next time non to shore as i need to find the photos as with google and backup it takes a lot of 
scrolling to find them as it was almost 3 years a go i started building this
