Motor delivered in one piece all the way from Bulgaria, Kostov 11" 192 volt
Adaptor plate made, cut by hand with a hacksaw! 4.000" hole bored to suit motor spigot. Holes drilled to pick up motor and gearbox fixin holes. No clutch in this conversion hopfully will only need a maximum of 2 gears, maybe 1. Clutchless gear change should be easy without engine compression.
Spent an afternoon at work in my own time borrowing a lathe to make adaptor coupling to join motor shaft to gearbox input shaft, I used middle part of original clutch and an off the self taperlock as per photos, quite pleased with coupling as have not used a lathe for about 15 years.
Clocked adaptor plate to gearbox input shaft untill running spot on true within 0.0005" doweled in 3 places.
Finally connected motor to gearbox ready to install into car.
Offered up drive shaft to see if there was clearance between motor outer case and drive shaft cv joint, as you can see only just, but only just is all I need (result)
