Battery box & contactors
Worked more on the firewall tonight:
- finished up and mounted the doubler for the contactors
- installed the nutplates for the battery box and fabricated the battery hold-down bar and spacers
- drilled pilot holes for the lightening holes in the box (need to bring my hole saws home tomorrow to finish the box)
- installed the nutplate for the breather hose
- made up the copper bar that runs between the contactors and ground down the mounting ear on the master contactor so it will nest with the starter contactor
- played around with possible locations for the wiring pass-thrus
Was going to install the two nutplates for the oil pressure hose as well, but can’t decide where they’re intended to be installed — I have seen pictures with them at the top corners of the recess, but turns out that hole location is a bear, since it has no flat spots for the “ears” of the nutplate. So, more research.
