Hi Chris, When testing we had the electric pump permanently connect to the 12V accessory battery but it was bloody loud. So we hooked it up to a normal electrical switch on the brake peddle so I could pump it a couple of times when I turned on the ignition and it worked great, topping up the servo e...

I reckon a 20ah LifePo would get you where you want to go... but it is a risk as there don't seem to be any dealers for complete batts with BMS and charger in the UK (apart from the weedy 10ah ones, and they don't count.)

Sorry but it's actually based around a Focus donor, we only used the Mondeo gearbox because the Focus gearbox is know as a weak link in the ICE drive train. We did consider a transfer box onto a diff, but it all started getting a bit complicated. We can slip the motor and gearbox out pretty quick, s...

Hi Bas, For controllers, Zilla are great, but taking into account the complicated set-up, waiting list and cost, there are now other controllers just as powerful. I am using a LogiSystem 120V to 144V 750A controller. There is Amp and throttle ramp adjustment, as well as a key switch lock out but tha...
