Laying cable

On Sunday we put the final touches on the throttle by fabricating a part to hold the cable, images will follow soon. We then started to pull out the center console to see where we might run the cable to the rear batteries. Then we realized it was a bigger project than we realized, and there was allready a nice hole in the firewall we could use. After lunch we took the 2 free ends of the 2/0 cable and ran it under the carpet, and under the back seat into the trunk area where we will have 3 batteries. It went much quicker than we expected.
One other item we took care of was connecting 2 of the contacts on the motor that need to be connected. We hammered out flat one of the copper connectors, drilled new holes in it and bolted it down on the motor. one more little detail taken care of. To finish up we shared the nerd joke of the day: "We are getting down to the wire".
