Hang Loose

This project seems more to hang, but I am getting more and more things together on my 2CV test bench. I had a very nice phone call with George Hamstra.
Probably in ten days the new WarP11s will be ready. I'll definitive use a WarP11 for the Land Cruiser.

This week I made a battery box for 24 cells out of cardboard. it fits, but things are coming to tight together for a driving car.
As I lay underneath the car thinking about size 12 blogs I fell to sleep...)

Ups...!?

The warP 11 seems to be out of stock... But perhaps they have one for me.)

Gearbox Mounting

I am struggling a bit with the right way to do the gearbox mounting. Original only the engine and the clutch housing is mounted to the frame. The whole gearbox is free, and there is not realy a good point to mount it. Also the transfer case is aluminium...

What is going on?

I am working much more on this blog right now.

Thinking about to lose even more weight

The whole clutch will weight about 42Kg / 93 lbs. And all we need to do with the clutch, is to set the motor "on" or "off".

The flywheel is about 15,1 Kg / 33lbs rotating mass, and thanks to my machinist, it is not running in center.

So I am thinking about to try a LoveJoy...

We lose weight

The internal combustion engine weighs 250 kg / 551 lb net.

All together we will lose about 400 Kg / 882 lb

Motor Adapter with flywheel is running

Batterie Box Testing

I want to use 70 Calb SE180AHA batteries. It would be to easy to put 20 in the back and 50 in front.

I want to have 35 in front and the other 35 in the back, without changing the look and the normal off road use. So the car would be better balanced as original.

My Favorite For This Project Is The NetgainWarp11

Clockwork ( )range

Yes!!

The ancient story of cars and car parts in dark deserted barns. I have been there but was not able to turn the engine by hand because it is "locked". So I was not able to disassemble the cluch. Now I have to buy the whole engine and so I can do some measurements for the motor mount adapter.

I am still waiting for a clutch housing

Tuesday I will know more.....

But which tuesday ? I do not believe that it will take sooooooooo long..?!?

Perhaps tomorrow...!!

First quick check for 160 AHA batteries. 40 in the front will fit easy... :/

I took some Battery data from the net.

CALB SE180AHA

Weight: 5,6kg Size: 275x182x71mm = 3.553.550mm³ / 180AHA = 19,7cm³ /1AHA

Winston LYP160AHA

Weight: 5,6kg Size: 276x209x65mm = 3.749.460mm³ / 160AHA = 23,4cm³ /1AHA

Sinopoly SP-LFP180

Weight: 5,6kg Size: 279,5x182x71mm = 3.611.699mm³ / 180AHA = 20cm³ /1AHA

Sinopoly SP-LFP200

Weight: 5,6kg Size: 279,5x182x71mm = 3.611.699mm³ / 200AHA = 18cm³ /1AHA

First quick check for 160 AHA batteries. 12 in the Back...

I have a singel Toyota J4 frame. That makes things a little easier to see.

I have a FJ40 flywheel and cluch disc. So I am looking for a cluchhausing, pressure plate, thrust bearing....

I am looking hard....but no response....?!

Gearbox disassembly to find the center for the Netgain motor adapter.
