The terminal box is fitted and all the high current wiring is attached.
The black wire trailing out the side of the main terminal box is for the embedded motor temperature monitoring. The grey wire emerging from the small terminal box is for the shaft encoder. The unused black cable gland is for the motor fan wires.
View from the front of the car. I regret not putting the fan wires on - I'll need a cut-down screwdriver. I didn't want to attach it because the wire already has the correct connector on it, but I now realise I'll have to connect it before the battery cradles go in.
View from the engine bay, taken by poking the camera into the transmission tunnel. Not much clearance. The problem is the far left terminal cover bolt. I ground it down to about 1.5 to 2mm thick and used a star instead of spring washer. At least you can see daylight over it.
As with the previous photo, I couldn't actually see this - only the camera could. This is a view from inside the car poking the camera down into the area where my head doesn't fit. The one at the right is the tight one.
I also got the battery mounts de-rusted and primed and started on splash proofing the DC-DC converters.
More later...
