Description:
In August/September 2009, we assisted Glen George with the completion of his electric MG TF conversion. Glen had restored the vehicle and had installed the TransWarp 9 motor, we assisted with finalising battery installation, traction circuit componentry, and electrical wiring.
It is a racing MG TF with fibreglass body, front disc brakes (not vacuum assisted, so no need for a vacuum pump). The motor runs direct drive, i.e no gearbox, and the vehicle has a CafeElectric Zilla 1K (1000A) controller to ensure there's no shortage of torque.
Very light and very fast! Glen plans to race it.
