Yes, I have. The first batch of couplers is currently being made.So, has anybody figured out the Leaf motor spline's engineering specs yet so a proper coupling can be fabbed?

It would definitely be beneficial if you could use one of the common hole spacing patterns that these yokes use:Perhaps it’s a match with one of the counter flanges for a flanged Leaf coupler I have coming up.
Which is what engineers DO - if we did NOT do that we would still be worrying about which stones to throw at the sabertoothsmy couplers have a 40mm OD, made to fit a variety of bearings, as my original adapter plate system was developed for the exact option. i published the adapter plate files online for other to use.....which syncro gearbox just ripped off. a few people DM'd me saying they had similar things happen with synco gearbox.
Was not aware of that. Sorry to hear it.i published the adapter plate files online for other to use.....which syncro gearbox just ripped off.
Maybe, but when said engineer or business takes all the R&D risks, spends the time and buckets of money to measure and refine, it becomes a valuable property and its owner willingly shares it for personal use, sure.Which is what engineers DO - if we did NOT do that we would still be worrying about which stones to throw at the sabertooths
This makes my point. The pirates don't have the skills to engineer a reliable solution.Was not aware of that. Sorry to hear it.
If you by chance have pictures of any support bearing setups using your adapter and coupler, I would love to see (not to rip off, I promise!).
My idea was to either mount a flanged bearing directly to the motor face, or mount the motor right behind the carrier bearing. Most RWD vehicles use two-piece driveshafts split at the carrier bearing. That way the carrier bearing would also act as a support bearing for the motor shaft.
If you post it on the internet then you have given away any rights - no "theft" involved - No "Pirates"Maybe, but when said engineer or business takes all the R&D risks, spends the time and buckets of money to measure and refine, it becomes a valuable property and its owner willingly shares it for personal use, sure.
When somebody abuses that permission for monetary gain, it's actual monetary theft. In the West, we call that "piracy". In China, they call you stupid for sharing it with someone that can build it cheaper (of course they can....no R&D cost both to recover and to do new stuff).
I learned early on in my biz career development (we engineers are largely ignorant of business practices -- engineers, usually on the spectrum, are just happy to work on cool shit and give away the farm ..."ooh, shiny plutonium - let's annihilate megacities with just one") that you cannot starve your suppliers. Do so, and the first on their accountants' chopping block is R&D.
Buy @Bratitude's couplers and you're giving him some cashflow to give us private users the next coupler, adapter plate, or gearset.
Buy one from an unauthorized pirate and the money may all go to hookers and blow (English slang for cocaine).
Now you know why I tagged him. Fuck the sabertooths when there's piratin' being done. He made it very clear his drawings were for personal use only. He shared it.
Somebody is making money and is not giving him his cut. He's not the kind of guy to demand it. Damned polite Canadians, eh
