Todd75:
I had just found that seat post pic in old forum and returned to see the whole set. Thanks a million.  Would you have pics of hardware arrangement on axle and hub for front MP4?  Most bikes(axle), have a washer with a tab that fits in a slot locking it. My bike does not have this, is this an issue?  Thanks again, I can go back to work.

This is the typical retaining washer that is soley designed to prevent the wheel from falling out of the dropouts if the axle nuts work loose:



The tabbed torque washers that comes with the kit is different to the above retaining washer and these are supposed to locate inside the dropout slots to help resist the torsional load from the axle, but mine extended beyond the slot even after I had filed the bottom of the slot to allow the axle to fit in properly.
As it therefore had nothing to locate against, I ended up hammering the tab back on itself so it would fit nicely inside the slot as you can see here:



I also filed a couple of bevels on the inner face of the outer washers so that they would locate nicely into the "lawyer's lips" on the end of the dropouts.



On my front forks I also had to add two spacer washers on the right hand side to prevent the controller from touching against the blade of the fork.

Well Alan, you're turning out to be a ton of help. I'm so glad you're around. I might be ok now, I'm sure I can find the electrical rules (proper order of connecting, disconnecting, charging) in the forum. Again...thanks Alan.

 Holy smokes...this thing flies !   Smart pie 4 w\ 48v 10 ahr on a new CCM Apex Mt bike. Aptly renamed Roadrocket.

Bikemad:
Congratulations Todd, I'm guessing that you have just experienced the "EV grin" for the first time.

Even though your build hasn't been as straightforward as you were expecting, I'm sure you'll agree that the end result more than makes up for all the time and effort that have gone into it.
   
Anyway, you haven't quite finished yet as there is still one more thing you need to do:

Then we can all see some pictures of the completed bike?
