Re: Phev Insight
If the pivot arm could be placed in front, it may be best for the Insight for a couple of reasons:
1) The arm could be mounted to something more solid than the rear plastic bumber.
2) Because of the taper towards the rear, there is more internal room for the pivot arm so that it will not stick out (as much or not at all).
3) You may be able to keep a modified splat on the car and have the arm behind the splat. The splat would still have to be modified to stick out more due to the motor thickness but it could probably all fit behind the splat.
Although some people may think it will look strange installed, it does seem to be one of the easiest ways to adapt to just about any vehicle.
