Adapter Parts Have Arrived

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 by EV Hacker

It look a bit longer than expected, but I just picked up the parts Revolt fabricated for me. This includes adapter plate, spacer, and hub. While they were at it, I had them do some work on the flywheel including removing the gear ring (it's there for the starter to spin the crankshaft - so not needed with an electric car) and the flywheel lightened and balanced. The stock flywheel came with an unexpected surprise: a built-in counterweight, which the shop had to remove. I presume this is needed to offset some sort of imbalance inherit to the eccentric shaft of rotary engines.



The next step is to test fit, then get on the ball with the sourcing the next major component: the controller.
