I installed the ceramic heater core in the heater unit and put the dash back in. About another 4 hours work all up. I am still waiting on the coupler and adaptor plate for the motor / gearbox. This was bad timing as I gave it to Geoff to convert just before he went on leave. I should get it back next week if all goes well.

I have been working flat out on a design for the motor controller over the last few weeks. It's an open source design and I am just doing a bit of fine tuning and the final board layouts. Beta testing of the unit is almost complete with no major issues. http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/paul-sabrinas-cheap-144v-motor-controller-6404-224.html

Its a long read at 224 pages and growing. Paul has done a fantastic job with the design. We are arranging a bulk buy of parts for Aussies, see http://www.aeva.asn.au/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=1160&PN=1
