Only just found your channel and binge watched them all. Its great to see what your doing compared to the big EV business that understandably dont show the trade secrets of how they do things. Looking forward to seeing more of what your are doing in the future. Looking your handbrake conversion has got me wondering how you are going to incorporate one on this conversion? Im sure that will be a video in itself at some point.
Thanks Gavin! Yeah the EV stuff is pretty new to us and in terms of the conversion we are considering it a hobby; our expertise is in the adapters/tranmission related stuff. The transmission/handbrake for this will hopefully be something special and a new Syncro product (if it fits)
I have a Series III 109" and I'm looking at starting a similar project. I've been looking at suitable Leaf donor cars, first gens 2012-2013, but they all seem have very compromised battery capacity of the original 24 kWh. I don't have much chassis experience, but I'm thinking of modifying the chassis so the original battery pack from the Leaf can be fitted as is, so that it is easy(er) to swap for a larger battery in the future.
You'll definitely have an easier time fitting the batteries in a 109. I'm not sure you'll get the leaf pack in as is but you certainly have more room to play with
@@SyncroGearboxes It will need some modification to widen the space between the two rails in the middle as the dimensions of the should be 1570.5 x 1188 x 264.9 mm
@@SyncroGearboxes I know, but we have homologation issues in Europe, where each EV conversion has be tested for electromagnetism interference and that is expensive, so by not changing any of the Leafs setup I hope to get around that. So it would be testing and document ISO 6469 (General safety for EV) ISO 7637 (12-24 V system), ISO 11451 (Part1-4) Immunity of passenger cars and commercial vehicles to electrical disturbances ISO 11452 Measuring and testing of 11451 ISO 14572 (Shielding of cables at different voltages) ISO 16750 (Part1-2) Effects on environment
So each aluminium "box" is a battery cell? What voltage is each cell? .... With the pack just sat there it just looks to have potential danger.... I ain't keen on electric, it fookin hurts! 😂 😂
🤣🤣 something like 380-400v total. 48 modules, so I think theyre 9v or something... We are being super careful around them because there is the potential for a serious injury, even split down into smaller packs its still enough to sting!!!

@@Abarth695Maserati it'd be significantly less work to just repackage the modules to be honest. You've got stacks of room to play with in a 109.
