BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE!

This has been a busy weekend, as I am getting ready to paint the bathroom and re-grout the tiles, so I needed to make as much progress as possible on getting the second module connected. July is almost history and EVCCON is only 8 weeks away. It seems like there is so much to do and so little time.

The module connections were installed, then the next project was to drill holes in the deck plate for the cables to be run through. There wasn't much room in front of the module but I was finally able to get into a position to center punch the locations and drill the holes with a hole saw.


BATTERY CONNECTIONS INSTALLED


HOLES DRILLED FOR CABLES

Earlier in the day a trip was made to ACE Hardware to pick up some flexible conduit and Liquid Tight Connectors to run the cable in.

3/4in x 25ft Ultratite Flexible Conduit


3/4 IN LIQUID TIGHT CONNECTOR

So the end to a busy weekend, that started with mowing the lawn on Friday, finishing some touch up painting around the new patio door and purchasing a car on EBAY, then working on the battery module. My work cloths still need dried and hung up but tomorrow back to work, so maybe I can get a little break and rest up a little!

Until next time,

FRONT BATTERY MODULES

The Fiero spent three days at Gary's Place Garage, last week getting new brake lines run and having the front spring helpers removed. On Sunday the deck plate and front sheet metal were installed and the split battery module was placed in the front for fitment.


FRONT BATTERY MODULES

After some more fitting, the Fiero will be taken back over to Gary's Place Garage to have mounts fabricated, then the front modules will be connected to the back module. This should give the Fiero a solid 40 mile range with the possibility of up to a 58 mile range.

Until next time,

Randy
