I forgot to check in for a while Yan but I'm thrilled to see all the progress. I think that the hole you cut in the vanagon floor looks great - no need to worry! Hope you're having fun and that you're making progress quickly enough for everyone concerned .

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I see you found a willing lathe closer to home (or maybe work) but if there's anything I can do I'm ready to do favours for the born and unborn EV enthusiasts in your family

You fully understand the plan.
By chance I have access to a lathe and a TIG, so the extra cost is my time.

That looks like a solid good plan to me.

If you need to machine relief for bolt heads into the Bolt stub axle portion (I think I see one in the CAD model), you'll need a dividing head or rotary table on a mill. I just spotted both at a friend's recently. His mill isn't set up yet but I'm sure he'd lend us the accessories if you don't find a better solution elsewhere.

Congratulations on moving under power!

Yes you still seem to have a fabulous mess of wiring and the dash is looking a little sparse (or absent) but those things can all be handled in due time.

The brake pedal assembly looks great. I recognize the pushrod pivot pin.

Great job on all 10 thousand details. Super inspiring!
