Update for July 11
Placement of the HVJB, LVJB, controller, DC to DC converter, charger
I played around with the clear plastic boxes that I'm using to make the Low Voltage Junction Box and High Voltage Junction Box splash-proof in the first prototype. The boxes do fit front to back on the motor module, but the clearance on each side that allows for the charger, DC/DC converter, and controller to be mounted is not great.
How about side to side instead? That gets the boxes closer to the transmission, but that's OK. There is more clearance on the sides, the target of the re-arrange. Good. Yes, I think this will work.
The sides of the boxes, where they rest on supports beneath them, are thicker than I would have expected. The top of the box is almost 2 inches above the support. The top of the frame will not work as a support. There MAY be that sort of headroom above the motor module, but there does not HAVE to be. The brackets wil have to be almost 3 inches lower, to have clearance for the boxes and the lids, and still fit beneath the frame.
A picture of the boxes sitting on top of the frame, in about the right position, is attached. The back of the car is to the right, front to the left. 449a
