OK, I have been given a better donor car than the old Vector. I now have a Serpent 950R, not a huge deal of difference but it is more refined and a little more current.

I want to get started on my custom motor mount but I need to know the exact outside diameter of a NEU1512 motor (1.5y to be specific) but I will take any information I can get (I know the NEU website says 40mm but would like to see if there are any slight tolerances). I would measure my own but I don't have it yet I'm still waiting for Mike to reply to an email.

If you have a 1512 could you please measure the outside diameter and post or pm your results (.00mm resolution would be nice). I'm interested to know if there are any lips where the end plates are as I'm making a band type clamp and this will effect how well it will hold the motor.

I'm catching up with a guy this weekend who has a vacume former and works with CF. We are working on a CF battery tray and side intrusion protection for the packs. I have attached a couple of pics of his work, all custom made by him, it's very nice.
