Another recycle yard run happened today.

400 miles, two cut tie-down straps, a smashed finger, and a check engine light later, we got home with a battery!

Add to the inventory, one Nissan Leaf 2013 Battery pack and the connectors to go with it.  Thank you to Wolftronix's extensive technical posts, and Kevin at ModernImports.com for putting up with us while we figured out if the battery was still viable.  It is sitting at 3.90V ±0.05 per module.
P.S. they have the motor/inverter/transmission/charger assembly sitting in the warehouse now too if you need one, and its host Leaf still in the yard in pretty bad shape, but parts can be had...airbags were deployed.

Next task, connect the battery, motor, DMOC, and adapter together to make sure it all works before mounting in the car.

Modeling the motor bay and parts in CAD.

We spent part of the weekend measuring the motor bay on the Golf, and modeling parts.  If anyone knows the actual dimensions for any of the parts, we am happy to share the finished CAD models with you after your dimension updates.

The thin orange slots you can see are the bottoms of the mounts that we will need to create an adapter plate to get up to.  The good news is it looks like it can be a flat plate on the end of the motor.

This is the rendition of the adapter plate so far, the thickness is not yet determined.  The red outline represents the motor, the orange represents the approximate CV joint location.  A bit more accurate measurement will need to occur, finding a flat spot on the transmission housing to measure from has proven challenging.  The good news is we can rotate the motor to get clearance, and then will need to build a tipped mounting plate for the back end of the motor and inverter.  Also included in the plate are a hole for the dowel pin on the motor, 2 holes for the through dowel pins from the transmission, counter bores for most of the bolt heads, and a central lip to align the plate to the motor housing.

Anyone with a set of accurate dimensions for a 2003 VW gas Golf or Jetta 5 speed watercooled transmission bell housing please speak up.
