Adapter Plate Reply

Received a reply from Steve Messerschmidt at Rebirth Auto in Florida regarding the adapter plate.  They have a supplier that can offer a very nice adapter plate that appears to be machined from a single piece of Aluminum in about 10 days.  Steve sent two pictures showing an example of a Kostov11 EV motor assembled on a Saturn, and he indicates that the BMW adapter would be the same setup with a slightly different shape.

It appears that Rebirth Auto is using a key way and setscrew for attachment of the shaft hub.  This compares to some other suppliers who are alternatively using a tapered clamp to secure the hub adapter.
