Moving right along

Saturday morning we jumped right in to more wiring.

This is the throttle box , which I just finished mounting on the left side of the engine compartment behind the battery rack on
We ran the 3 wires from the shunt to the guages through the fire wall. We used the same grommet as the other wires coming from the cabin. One of the wires will be connected to the negative side of the battery string.

This shows the wires coming from the throttle box (black and white) and one wire from the shunt(red/black).The next sequence shows us preparing the terminals.

Strip the cable and insert it into the terminal.
Place it in the crimping tool.
Pound it with a sledge hammer until the gauge on the tool shows it is far enough down.Heat shrink tubing applied.
Here you can see the cables for the motor installed on the controller.
