Forgive me, but I didn't ever say I was an 'expert' and know all the "ins and outs"
that there may or may not be. I expressed an idea, a thought, a suggestion, call it
what you will, but not a set in stone 'this is exactly how it is going to be done'.
We are discussing possibilities here....guessing, speculating, provoking thoughts...
as that is how and where ideas are formed and formulated and plans made.
Perhaps someone with 'the knowledge' and/or inclination might look into what the
rear axle can or do or cope with...or if it can possibly be 'adapted'...it is not for me
to say it can or will be. I have worked on them, so i have some intimate knowledge,
but not of the stress mechanics etc...but there is nothing wrong with thinking that
it might be possible ? But forget it, perhaps someone who does have the necessary
qualifications might look into it, but if not...so what...it was just an idea.
Today, almost anything is possible. Not that long ago it was never thought possible
to land on the moon using a computer that had less capability than a Comodore,
yet we did it, and we've even sent a remote controlled vehicle to Mars ! And all
because someone thought it was possible..suggested it..worked it out...and did it.
I guess they were criticised too.
Cars of all ages are being 're-energised' with electric conversions everywhere, by
experts and newcomers to the electric conversion game.
And yes..they are having to replace/rewire complete electrical systems as they go
about it, with some being brought more up to date by having 'gizmos' and the
'sophisticated amenities' added that you mention..but only IF the owner wants
to have them added, although to be honest I have noticed that nearly all of the
vehicles that I have seen on related TV programmes have tended to stay as close
to the 'original' as possible.
But back to the topic of this thread....Battery Packs....anyone else have any ideas or
thoughts etc that they want to say....but please, no more about my 'idea/thought'..thanks.
