Motor adapter redesign




Here is my flywheel adapter redesigned to use a 1610 taper-lock and Modified Taperlock sprocket. I plan to install the taper lock with the setscrews facing the motor so the clutch pressure will press the adapter on tigher instead of trying to pull it off. The other big change is since the center of the sprocket is larger dia then the pilot of the flywheel I plan to use 2 dowels to locate the flywheel on the adapter. (one is in the flywheel from the factory. I'll have to add the other). I also plan to put a bushing/spacer between the motor and taperlock so the clutch force can push the assy forward.

Anyway I have attached a 3D screen shot and a drawing of the adapter for your review

Removing the volts front seats.

Image
Our Volt didn't come with heated seats.  For what we paid for the car we were willing to over look it.  But it doesn't mean we didn't want them.  We decided to add some after market seat heaters. To remove the seat from the car:  The seat belt needs to be disconnected from the seat.  to do that pry out the little circle on the plastic bit that connects the belt to the seat.  See the picture below.  Note how the cap stays attached at the bottom. Remove the bolt in the center remove the plastic half. Then simply remove the metal tab that the belt attaches.  Might need to slide it down slightly to get it out. You may also might want to remove the head rest.  It will give more clearance for removing the seat.  Raise the headrest then remove the plastic bezels at the base of the posts by rotating them counter clockwise. To remove the headrest from the seat there is a latch on both posts that must be released.  It is a spring wire wit

Blower module

Blower module aka Blower resistor replacement for a 2011 Volt (Gen1)  22745409   First step is to remove the trim on the passenger door sill.  This is required as the right outboard screw holding the lower trim panel on is not accessible with the trim on.  Removal is simply prying it up and then back.  It just has tabs that click into the slots you can see here. The next step is to remove the lower trim panel. There are three screws.  (9/32 socket fits the head) One to the right of this picture.  One to the left.  Then one to the back center (toward the front of the car).  I'll try to circle these in yellow later.  The one in the middle was missing on my car.  Makes me think someone has been here before.   Once the lower trim panel is removed there is an air duct that needs to be removed.  This was missing on my car.  Apparently the person that was in here last time didn't put it back.  Ugh.  Anyone with an extra duct le

Plans change again. My son crashed his E46 (gas powered).  He bent the frame beyond repair.    Due to scheduling and things we really needed an extra car.  My plan was to buy a inexpensive overheated E46 and drop his engine in.  We shopped for a couple days but then I looked at my EV in the driveway.  It looked almost identical to the car he crashed.  So.... Yes you guessed it.  We pulled out the EV stuff and tossed in his motor and trans.  Had him up and running pretty quickly.  Long story short my EV parts are forsale . Sold http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176130 If someone wanted to come to the house and pick it up  I'd toss in some other EV bits I have.
