Motor In action and now I'm going back to school soon so there will be less post and hopefully we can get some done during the winter holiday this year!
Yesterday new in the post was the new g power oil radiator with fan and soon it will be installed to cool the motor!
the post is coming through slow as I'm writing this I have much incomplete homework as this year I'm doing the GCSE so the post will be delayed

This is an incredible project for someone your age and experience. You should be contacting the likes of JLR and other car makers and also BAE etc. They will be fighting to get you on their graduate schemes even before you start A levels. You’ll probably get help with battery systems and control electronics.
As said several times - invest in proper safety wear and safe methods of working. I used to work in health & safety. Retrieving parts of people left behind in machinery is not for the feint heated. Often you don’t get a second chance. One mistake has great capacity to stop your budding engineering career dead in its tracks - possibly literally. Be safe!
Rotating parts, electricity and gravity will always win.
Much as everyone wants to see progress, put your school work first. Ok

Problems have arisen so I will be discontinuing this thread and the project will continue and I'm leaving zroadster.org for a long time, most likely I will probably never come back and I also have left all owner group and page on FB as well and you can find the original thread herehttps://www.facebook.com/Convert2Electric/ and I would probably no longer update.
sorry for the inconvenience
