We're right on schedule with our Fiero-hybrid retrofit project. Removal of the engine, transmission and assorted pieces/parts went smoothly. In fact, we were able to lift the engine & transmission together in one operation.
Underway in the shop now is the completion of the adaptor plate. Ken used a portable hacksaw to cut the 3/16" steel plate and is now drilling holes to mount components to the transmission (motor, generator, belt drive, etc.).
This adaptor plate design is unique; it will hold both generator & motor on a single plate.
According to Ken, the time-consuming part was measuring and drawing the template. Next up... populating the parts on the plates prior to installing in the Fiero.
