1688 Oops, the supplied motor mount doesn't exactly 'fit'.... | 1689 | 1693 The proportioning valve will just stop the bigger front battery box from going in, so it will have to move. | 1694 | 1695 | ||||||
1696 And this load of rusty #@$% will be replaced. | 1697 New plate fabricated and proportioning valve mount re-attached in new location. | 1698 | 1699 Proportioning valve mounted in new location. | 1700 Let's rethink how to mount that motor. Note the two small red wires from the motor, this is a thermal trip, closes @ 120 degs C. After 'hard' mounting the motor as per this picture, I finally decided that wouldn't be good, so a new mounting system based around a flexible aftermarket engine mount is in the works.. | ||||||
1703 Front battery box mounting. An engine mount from a donor car turned round and modified to fit on driver's side, matching the original one on the other side. | 1704 30$ heatsink from Ebay... Might be useful for the controller. (Can't keep power transistors too cool after all.) | 1705 3 battery box, rear mounting plate. It will hang from the Turbo Tech strut tower bar. | 1706 Had to offset the hanger plate to miss the wiper motor. | 1707 | ||||||
1709 3 battery box and 2 battery box, test fitting.. These were actually a 5 battery box from CEV, which I cut and reforned into two boxes. | 1710 First attempt at 2 battery box fitting. Note the new brake booster. | 1711 | 1712 3 battery box is tight, but about 1/2" clearance is enough! | 1713 | ||||||
