Adapter & Coupler $100 (homemade)
Additional FeaturesAdded a blower fan with some plumbing hardware to keep the motor cooler. Made the coupler with Lovejoy connectors and clutch plate center. Transmission side of the coupler kept slipping so I had them welded into one piece. Waaaaaay better! Adapter was made with aluminum plates stacked together to a total of 2 1/2". The carpet in the boot just makes me feel better, sort of a "look at how clean ev's are"
