Body Mods

Front

The subframe will require some additions to mount the motor, inverter and cells. Niel Fraser of 0800 Certz advises:

• 3mm plate welded to the frame in the front corners and on the towers
• 38x2.5 wall tube or 38x38x3 RHS (Rectangular Hollow Section)
• Front batteries to have shear mounts

He also mentions Capital Instruments for speedometer adjustments

See http://simple-pages.homeunix.net/mini/Minizuki/subframe%20finished/slides/IMG_10061.html for a vtec motor in a mini subframe.
