I'm planning on designing (using SolidWorks) and machining (CNC) an adapter plate to transmit the rotational motion from the electric motor to the old VW transmission.
Right now I don't actually have the VW but I plan to get it soon.
I just want to know the important things to keep in mind while designing this adapter plate. Can I use an aluminum alloy? Steel?
I'm sure this has been done before, but is there a specific thread that has detailed references toward a CAD design? Or is there someone that I could talk to that would be a good resource for this type of design work?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
