Bombardier build has begun
This is Vanessa, my 5 year old granddaughter. She has no fear. She will fall in and help me whenever she can. Here she is replacing the struts on a mustang.

Re: Bombardier build has begun
Recently acquired a bombardier NEV the was sitting in the weeds for about 7 years. After checking the motor out, the windings were corroded off, I started the conversion to gas. I promise I've uploaded pictures before, I don't know why they are 90* off.

Re: Bombardier build has begun
Decided to reuse the armature shaft and motor housing with bearing for the attachment to the rear axle. Here's the pile of armature winding separators that come off the shaft, I don't know what glue is on this but a 20 ton press didn't phase it. I had to separate each one individually to break the glue and then they slid right off. 2 hours later that is.

Re: Bombardier build has begun
Now the question of the day,
Original gear ratio with the 72 volt motor was 8:1 The largest sprocket that will fit inside the old motor housing has to be less than 5 1/2" diameter. Found a 20 tooth sprocket 5 3/8" diameter. The torque converter starts off with a 10 tooth sprocket. Should I go 10 tooth across the jackshaft and to the reverse gearbox. Or can I change the gear ratio on any sprocket? |

Re: Bombardier build has begun
Amazing what a bottle of purple power and a pressure washer can do. The paint is oxidized but a buffer should be able to get it done.
