Classic Car - Conversion to Electric?

[Darkspeed]

Converting cars to electric power that were never designed to be without any form of 3rd party inspection! Recently issued statists about the number of lithium battery fires probably has more influence on this decision than a couple of holes in a floor.

I think another key factor is the individual inspector conducting the inspection. Having been through 3 IVA inspections - with one vehicle - which failed twice before passing, I have to say that it can come down to a matter of individual interpretation of the rules. The easy - and safe - option for any inspector is to fail the car if he is uncertain of any aspect. A different inspector may well interpret the situation differently and allow a pass if he is more familiar (and confident) with his technical decisions and relevant experience.
