Small pieces of 1,5mm steel was welded on the motor plate to fill the holes where splashing water could enter the clutch assembly. A small hole was left into the bottom of the motor plate similarly as with the original gasoline engine. The motor plate was then painted first with zinc containing paint and then with thick metal paint. This was ment to slow down corrosion.
After the paint work the motor was assembled back on its place. The corolla was given a second test drive and it could be noticed that the flywheel balancing had improved. It's not sure if the balancing is still good enough for the planned 3000rpm, but for 500rpm the balancing is now acceptable.
