    Modified a Nissan Leaf battery pack to make a battery side tank. There will be two side tanks and one in the motor bay.
  2. I like Wheeler Dealer but didn't see that episode. The truck is a '63 B-46.
  3. The casting # of the hub with the three cracks that I welded is 8QJ8131P1. It's a poor casting - a lot of scabbing on the inside of the spokes. It also has a much bigger outer bearing (the inner is the same size as the other hub #8QJ414).

    I thought this was the only crack. The other two were not so obvious.

    After fully cleaning the hub I found a pair of cracks around a second bolt hole. I was concerned about welding the casting, but it appears the material is cast steel, not cast iron. This hub was poorly cast - a lot of scabs and scars.

    Originally I thought this was the only crack.

    Still need spring pins and too finish painting other springs. It took a few attempts to get the spring into position without scratching the hell out of everything.

    Original Crossmember with electric motor.

    Yup, those are Mack body-bound bolts. They were supposed to be $3.50 ea. Still waiting to find out why they were $7.50 ea. Nuts and washers were "reasonably" priced.

    Eastwood paint on the springs. Paint is good for brackets and show, but probably not durable enough for the springs.

    Step one - remove only what's needed.

    Since I'm using the original bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, and transmission for the conversion to electric I decided to use the crankshaft flange.
