1695 | 1696 And this load of rusty #@$% will be replaced. | 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.. | 1704 | ||||||
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 | 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. | 1719 | 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.) | 1721 | ||||||
