Method and system for mounting a rotor position sensor

A stator assembly for an electric motor, said assembly comprising:

• a plurality of stator laminations comprising a plurality of sections separated by a plurality of first gaps, each of the first gaps defined by a first pair of edges;
• a first stator end cap attached to said stator laminations and comprising a plurality of sections comprising a plurality of edges, said sections separated by a plurality of second gaps, each of the second gaps defined by a pair of said first stator end cap section edges, said first stator end cap further comprising a pair of first notches extending from a first end of said first stator end cap at one pair of said first stator end cap section edges;
• and
• a second stator end cap attached to said stator laminations and comprising a plurality of sections separated by a plurality of third gaps, each third gap defined by a third pair of edges.
