Connecting an electric motor to an existing Internal Combustion Transmission requires precision and accuracy in every engineering aspect from physical design to the torque specs. The adapters we carry are custom made and require little calculation on your part. One piece couplers are available (special order) which replace the taper-lock bushing and hub. Contact us if you are interested in the one-piece option.
!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!. Due to varying adapter thickness and motor type, your 3/8 bolts may be too long for your specific motor! After threading one bolt through the adapter and into the motor, GENTLY turn the motor shaft and listen. If the shaft is hard to turn or if you can hear some grinding, remove the bolt immediately! This sound or hard turning indicates that the bolt has gone so far into the motor as to be in a position to damage the motor fan when the motor begins high powered turning. Instead, replace the bolts with a shorter one that does not interfere with the fan. EV Source will not be responsible for this error.

CUSTOM-MADE ADAPTERS
Don't see your specific engine listed? We now offer custom made adapter plate kits in two pieces. One piece mounts to the electric motor and is a specific thickness based on the dimensions of your original engine. The second piece has the same profile as your transmission. These two pieces mount together and to your transmission to make the adapter. This process takes 6-8 weeks from the time we receive the following from you:
1. Original transmission
2. Flywheel
3. Clutch, disk
4. Distance from transmission face to original crankshaft mounting face
Cost is 1400.00 made in 2 payments of $700.00. Upon receipt of the first payment we send you a kit with an instruction manual, shipping box, packaging, and a dial caliper which you may borrow or purchase. The instruction manual has details in the form of a photo and text that will help you obtain the "critical number". The shipping box and packaging are for you to ship your transmission. The first payment is refundable until we receive the transmission from you. The second payment will be required when you receive the adapter. Lead time for this process (from the time we receive the first payment to the time you receive your new adapter) is a maximum of 6-8 weeks but will most likely be much less than that.

Lead Time: Ships in 10-15 Days
