Yea it's going OK. I got all the power wiring done this morning. I will tackle the activation tonight. I'm going to use a Reversing contactor on it and see what happens. I know the throttle is going to be the biggest problem But I think I have that sorted out also. I know later tonight I hope.

Yea Ha! It's running and doing fine I programed the controller and it runs great on the jack stands. I need regular batteries but other than that it's good to go. I used all the factory wiring and did away with what I didn't need.

All that is left is the battery cables and I should have enough to do them also. :D

Here are some pics.
The donor cart:


The Motor:


Cables I made for it:


Cables and controller:


Forward / Reverse contactor and main contactor:


The batteries I used for trouble shooting!

Digital battery meter I'm going to install. That was with the charger plug up to the cart through the factory plug with a auto charger and my adapter plug.

Tell me what I need to get and or how much $$$ to bring.

Motor, controller, f/r contactor. Wiring unless you already have cables for it. If you don't want to use the contactor a old style F/R handle and enough cables and ends to make them up. I have the crimper. Money? No money man I still owe you for coming up to the beach and installing the AC stuff.
I used all the wiring out of the orignal cart.

It already has #2 welding cables. So, ill see what I can find for a controller. Ill get in touch with Robby for a motor. Where to I get the f/r lever and rev. contactor.

I added the volt meter to the dash.
I may work on the lights now that I'm on a roll.
