[ausev] EV motor installation

[Aaron Choate]

We usually have the transmission and the motor out of the vehicle when we
are putting them together.  Is that how you are doing it?  If so, we have
had good luck "stacking" them vertically.

One way or the other, having some help can really make life easier.  I would
be glad to come help out if you need a hand.

Cheers,

Aaron Choate
