It's quite possible the trans
It's quite possible the trans plate has already been made by someone, since this tranny was used by Toyota for about 12 years and in 2 or 3 models. I haven't priced batteries elsewhere yet, but will be talking to Bill Dube at KillaCycle and will see if he might have a source - maybe through Boulder Electric Vehicle, which is now buying in bulk. You never know. They promised me a test drive, so I need to schedule it. I drove their prototype a couple of years ago and now I want to get in the real thing. Meanwhile, the Toyota sits in my back lot keeping the compost heap and weeds company. :)
