Back to school...

After unloading the car this afternoon at the school, Mike and I sat down with Mr. Butler and began mapping out the low-voltage wiring system. Mike and I expressed our ideas to Mr. Butler and he easily mapped out a diagram that closely resembled Michael Brown’s diagram. Since we are short of a few supplies, Mike and I decided to hold off on beginning the wiring. Instead we unbolted all of the components off of our OSB control panel and removed it to paint. After smothering the board in sealer, Mike and I coated the panel with flat black paint. Tomorrow we should be able to place it back into the car.


Good to have our baby back home.


This is a pic of the metal plate that goes under the controller and the wood plate that goes under the DC to DC converter.


Black Beauty.




To the right is Mike's tie down bracket that holds in the auxiliary battery.
Using threaded rod, we are going to strap down all of our batteries with the same type of angle iron strap.
