Any chance we can get a run down on what you coded or flashed? Just at a high level please, I am mostly familiar with the tools :)

How did you disengage the electric motor?

Hi Raymond,

Sorry to be a pain but I’m about to start my conversion and came back to your thread to refresh my memory but, as you know, your pictures have gone. Could you PM them to me?

Thank you for taking the time to do the original write-up. You’ve certainly helped a fair few of us. :thumbsup:
