Hi Grant,

Most of the bits are one offs that I'm selling at cost or below cost to move then on. Was going to do a few conversions for a bloke but he pulled the pin on in it when petrol went relatively cheap. Thanks.

Really? Interesting and considering regardless of how cheap petrol is now, it wont always be that way... any how my preferences are more than just petrol prices; no more oil company funding oh and tire melting performance
So is EV conversion your specialty and do you have contacts or see yourself importing more components?

Thanks

I agree with what you say, because that is why I got into it myself in the first place, but it was my customer that pulled the pin.
EV conversion is just a hobby at this stage, but would have been a business until the economic climate changed. I have only done two conversions so far for my wife and myself, but have a third on the drawing board now. Have kept some of the parts for the 2nd and 3rd conversions.
I might stock the odd EV component but with everyone having different ideas of what they what it would be hard to know what to stock in NZ. I have had no end of problems with overseas suppliers, especially with delays in shipping items. Between that, shipping costs, the forever changing exchange rate and everyones access to bits on the internet, I can't see it as making any money.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about, dealing with overseas EV suppliers, getting shafted and not being able to do a lot about it...

This is in no way a plug but Ive heard really good things about EV Components in the US and more recently, the price of their lithium cells, very tempting They could be a go?

Do you have any experience in AC motors? I plan to do an AC conversion, lithium batteries etc looking at a budget of 40k including donor which is still undecided, be good to have a fellow Kiwi to call on (i.e annoy ) for info

Many thanks John. Hope you get good use out of the parts. Have just listed a very good vacuum pump for sale on Trade-Me. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=235432154 These are the best thing since sliced bread, even if I do say so myself. These are what we have been waiting for, to keep our EV's quiet and stopping properly. I am running one on my own EV and am very impressed with it's performance.

Damn! didn't see this in time

Anyone else got an ultra quiet vacuum pump for sale?

I was thinking of making a vacuum pump from a diesel exhauster and a small single phase induction motor. Anyone know which diesel vehicles have suitable vacuum exhausters?

Sam.

EDIT: I see you have a new auction running. I'll clear the funds with the boss/wife tonight.

[samborambo]

Thanks for the auction Rex. Bargain!
