And this load of rusty #@$% will be replaced.

Proportioning valve mounted in new location.

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..

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.

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.

1712
3 battery box is tight, but about 1/2" clearance is enough!

1715
3 battery box is tight here too, that's why the hanger is offset on the box!

1716
First rear 3 battery box is in, roughly where the fuel tank sat. It will really stiffen up the rear end I hope as well.

1717
Rear 3 battery box #1.

1718
Rear 3 battery box #2. Dropped into spare wheel well, and hanging from the TurbineTech rear strut tower tie/brace. The bottom of the TurbineTech brace (out of sight) also bolts into the rear seat belt mount holes in the chassis.

1720
Rear 3 battery box #2. Dropped into spare wheel well, and hanging from the Turbo Tech rear strut tower tie/brace. Waiting for side flanges to be added to each side. (Note jack mounting removed from the spare wheel well.)
