Modifying an Impulse9 for an EV1

When the University of Missouri - Rolla asked me if I could shorten an Impulse9 from 13.7" to 12" so it'd fit into an EV1 they had I jumped at the chance to have one of my motors driving one around (Hey, I'm a DC motor slut, what can I say, hehe). I knew I could shorten it to 12" (okay I was hoping I could, lol) but what I didn't know was they needed an OEM styled shaft! Doh! 8^o

Not sure what went on inside this box during freight but it was all over the motor.

This would all wipe off but not what you'd expect on a new motor. I can only guess that a motor had been returned in this box and then was used to send this motor.
