Hi to all and especially gratified by the welcome given. I will try and answer the queries in this one posting that people posed, if I miss anything feel free to post a question or e-mail me directly. On the Trace inverters, all I have right now are a few NIB 230v 50 Cycle Tiger Series export units 24V input that I am selling for $100.00. They would be good for lighting and such non frequency sensitive apps. They might even be hackable, havn't opened one up but I did sell a couple to a fellow that did and he seemed to think they were set up from the factory to do so. Like I said, don't know for sure and havn't heard back from him. On my E-bay site, I do electronic salvage and surplus so 48V 115v x 60 hz units could show up at any time. I am always looking for RE stuff to sell but seldom have a chance to buy right. I do have LOTS of hi-power DC stuff that I havn't had time to list, BIG inductors from industrial welders, small to big contactors, variacs (handheld to large 3ph chain drive), some small DC-DC converters, and lots more aircraft stuff.
On the EV front, I have had many EVs in the past and I currently (pun intented) own 2 onroad EVs (1991 Conceptor G-Van and a `76 Sebring Vanguard Citicar) and have 2 Lectra EMBs acquired in pieces that I am slowly building. Working on a drag bike for the 24v NEDRA class as well. If that isn't enough, I just acquired a mint Meyers Manx or Tow`d body that I am seriously considering building as an EV. I have a friend that wants to underwrite the project, am considering starting it as soon as I finish a half dozen other things, meanwhile will just look to acquire parts. Need a frontend, pan for a jig to fabricate new chassis, IRS stuff. I do custom fabrication and classic vehicle work for a small clientele of old car enthusiasts and the occasional piece for EV guys to help with their conversions. As I get a bit more time I will post some EV links for people to follow, lots of great resources on the net. I would appreciate a hint where to post links best, I see this forum has a diary function, maybe there?
PS, I need a short piece (8-12") of Schedule 5 4" aluminum tubing to make a new motor casing for the drag bike motor. This is apparently a std size but have not had much luck finding any locally or on the net. Maybe not looked hard enough or in the right places, but I am hoping one of y`all has a chunk just taking up space. Please e-mail me if you have a piece to get rid of.
