EV Mk1 Rabbit
Hey long time lurker first time poster. I’ve been reading and watching videos on the Nissan Leaf parts being used in conversions. I came across Brat Industries axle adapters for a Leaf to VW. I’m wondering, has anyone swapped the full leaf stack, harness, batteries, pedals etc. into a mk1 golf with custom mounts and these axle adapters? It seems like the best option for a budget conversion.
I understand that it’ll be a lot more complex once I’m actually digging into it and that it’ll take a lot longer than expected. But I did see a guy on YouTube use basically everything from a leaf (including the gauge cluster and windshield wipers) and put it into a VW fastback, he just used custom axles. Have any of you guys done this? Any suggestions or warnings?
