I have aquired two conversion candidates and need components on a very modest
budget (read UNEMPLOYED IN MICHIGAN) I've been shy about making my
purchases of used motors on eBay because I am terrified of making a $500 or
greater mistake since I've got five special needs kids to feed! I need lots
of advice and as many recommended used components (like Advance DC, Curtis,
Zillas, etc) as I can get my hands on to complete these projects. The grade
here is a modest 1-2% and my build goal is to make for highway speeds and 40
mile range between charges. The Gross Vehicle Weight on the gliders I've
gotten (Mercury Capri and Toyota Tercel) are 3300lbs and 2600lbs
respectively.
Although not a perfect solution, I have a source for lots and lots of lead
acid batteries virtually free. Some deep-cycle, most not, all used. Trying
to desulficate with off-the-shelf battery minder. Again, any advice is
appreciated.
Any suggestions or offers to sell me used or surplus components would be
welcome either to the forum or by direct email response to me (jim at
localestore.com) I can be reached at 989-672-3229 during the day.
Additionally, I've aquired a 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage conversion. Needs
batteries and controller.
