[R4eCV]

Hello all,


my name is Remi, and I am a long time EV and Renault enthusiast living in Switzerland.


I have recently started a conversion project on my 1954 Renault 4CV. For those of you not familiar with this european model here's a picture of my little chap:

If you prefer videos, you can also go to my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/remichanics (or straight on to the latest update at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEeFiIQMEk8).


I am really looking forward to interacting with all of you guys, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask, as I might have some questions to you at a later stage too ;-)!


Best regards,
Remi (R4eCV)

Hello Brian

Thanks a million for your reply! Of course nobody will need to watch any videos, but some (especially younger as e.g. my son) people nowadays prefer the video format as it is low-threshold, but I don’t belong to that generation either... but I find it important to expose our hobby also to the younger generation, and YT is one way to do so.

Regarding the Flywheel setup in the R 4CV: The problem is, that the flywheel/clutch assembly is mounted WITHIN the engine, which means that the engine itself forms the clutch bell housing. The gearbox as such has no bell housing at all, so I cannot work with a simple adapter plate as in the “normal” conversions. I will explain that in a build thread as suggested by you, you might also be able to see the problem in the video #22 where you can see the flywheel buried in the engine.

Thanks for your thoughts about the Tesla Battery, I was left in the false impression that a module would be 24V nominal which is wrong. Will have to elaborate this further, maybe even with the help of you experienced guys and gals on here!

Hope this clarifies a few things, and thanks for your comments, they are very much appreciated!

Rgds,
Remi

Thanks again Brian_ for your comment, and sorry for the misunderstanding with the flywheel/clutch, I think we're on the same sheet of paper now. I will open a build thread soon to make things even more clear .


Very interested to see if I can find anyone else on here working with old Renault cars too!


Best regards,
Remi.
