Hi Paul,

I bought a kit from you last Christmas,
excellent kit
I put it together in the winter and now the summer is back I am installing it in my car

The controller will live in the front battery compartment bolted to the side bulkhead,
The heat sink will live in the “outside air” on the other side of the bulkhead, this should get a fair amount of air flow

The heat sink is four pieces of copper sheet bolted to the aluminium mounting plate bolted in turn to the controller base plate

Anyway – some questions
Throttle position sensor
This needs
0 (zero) Ohms for no throttle
5,000 Ohms for full throttle (500 amps)
What happens if it sees more than 5Kohms? – does it fault to zero?

How exact does the 5,000 ohms have to be?

My controller has a yellow wire – this is for the pre-charge,
Do I connect it to the contactor? – or does it need to go through a relay first?
