I took the day off my day job and worked on the car. It's a nice day and we won't get many days warm enough to work on the car outside!
Not much progress for a whole DAY!!
- mounted the fuses behind the driver's and passenger's seats in the car, with upcycled cottage cheese containers for plastic covers
- mounted the disconnect switch, shunt, and positive tie point at the rear of the batteries, front of the trunk
- drilled holes in the floor and ran the two temporary power cables from the battery pack to the front of the car. Fabricated/bent up some cable supports so the cables do not drag on the ground.
- make the L brackets and OSB mount for the controller - not installed yet
- wire up a DC breaker for the front engine bay. I can't find the trip cable that I bought with it, so it's just a breaker for now, and it's big. The Gigavac contactors won't fit inside the box. So it's too big to fit with everything else ... I guess I'll skip that one for now.
- mount the accelerator potbox/hall effect replacement and connect to the existing throttle pedal. Not tested as yet, but the cable moves back and forth.
I didn't take video but I guess I can take some pictures (a few days late). I will post tomorrow with the next update
