New question. What's the measurements in between the wheel from front to back? Reason I am asking is I am considering buying one of these jack systems. www.quickjack.com/www.youtube.com/user/rangerquickjackI want to get the 5000 model to work with my Camaro, Solstice, Mazda3 and Ford Flex. But I am unsure if it would fit under the mevabusa.

Why would it matter if it was too long?

Just had a closer look. Due to the floor on the MeV you can put this inboard of the wheels and not worry re the length - a number of the guys in the uk use motorbike lifts, which are like a single one of these.

I liked the look of the first one better.
Also I cannot see a solid lock on the second, whilst it is a mechanical lift via a screw thread I still would not be comfortable without a safety locking bar or similar. To be fair it might be present but I could not clearly tell.

Ok cool. The lift I was going to get comes in a pair to lift a car that is maximum 5,000 lbs. So I think If I centered one under it might work like a bike ramp.
If not, there's nothing wrong with over kill.

Stock Spedo with reverse gear.
How did everyone else do this? We had to cut the case to get the reverse gear in place. This then lead to the stock spedo that had the speed sensor from the crank no good.

Another question even though my last wasn't answered.
Can you guys show me how you are mounting the front bodywork to the frame.

Got two aero catches on the top of mine. Not cheap but they work well.

Paulh,
When you have a moment, can you get me some pictures of how you used the aero catches.
Thanks!
I'm still trying to sort out how I am gonna get the speedo to work after installing the reverse motor, bracket.

Looking into a switch panel for the Busa. My plan is to use the car controls on the steering wheel for most things.. ie. Turn signals, Headlights Lights, parking lights Trying to figure out all the switches that I would need in addition. 1. Reverse Lights 2. Fan Override 3. 12v Outlet Was thinking about getting these and build a panel from the "dash" to the tunnel for mounting.

Why not wire the reverse lights to switch with the reverse? Why bother with a separate switch?
Where did you get the panel? Have you got a link please?

That's what I'm doing with the reverse.

Ok, this is my idea with the reverse. Borrowed from another builder. Going to mount this switch under the dash that can be activated with my foot for reverse. The idea of having the reverse light on a separate switch... I can light up what I want is behind me before going backwards, not just when I am going backwards. Switch link. Thought about doing all the single switches that I've seen on other builds, but this would be a lot easier.
