Sounds like the hub is good then?

Yes, seems fine
How's this project coming along? Looks like an incredibly fun build. Very similar to what I am setting out to do on my next build also.

It's been stalled for quite a while, the clutch was out of whack. I have a new hydraulic clutch and everything ready, I just need to find the motivation - and help - to put it all back together.
I hope to find a decent 40 or 45 and ultimately do a Leaf swap into it.
I've done a few VW builds with DC series wound motors in the past. Those were relatively straight forward as the adapter plate and hub were commercially available and mounting the modules and other components had been done by other folks prior, so plenty of existing inspiration.
I'm building an ADU in my backyard, but as soon as I finish that I am planning to dive into this build.
Certainly enjoyed reading your thread.

For an ev build would you :
1) Buy a kit
2) Build your own like workindog ?
3) Use a wrecked Model Y or Leaf or whatever as a donor for all the systems ?
There is a guy on here that built an ev 80, lots of vids of it performing quite well, his site has a 40 being built with a tesla motor sitting just about where tcase sits and both have regen braking and gear boxes.
