Pot Box Installation

The 0-5,000 ohm pot bot will be regulating our acceleration. We fastened the pot box in the upside down position to the middle-top portion of the firewall. The old throttle cable had one side already hooked up to the gas pedal. We attached the other side of the throttle cable onto the firewall next to the pot box. Then we fastened the cable to the swing arm on the pot box. The wires attached to the controller according to the controller specification sheet.

Low Voltage electrical System

The low voltage electrical system consists of one 12V car battery. This battery will power the a/c, heat, radio, ignition, vacuum pump, and whatever other additional electrical components we decide to install.

We removed the rust from the old battery tray, painted it, and reinstalled it in the same location.

For reference, the battery rack was placed to the left of the firewall batteries, behind the high voltage electrical system.

The NorthWest 12V Battery.

High Voltage System

Our basic high voltage electrical system was placed above the transmission. We're using a 1"X10" board placed over the high voltage rack and some screws to fasten all the components down.
The high voltage setup looks something like this:
Batteries --> Shunt --> Fuse --> Contactor --> Controller --> Motor

Manzanita Recharger

We created a mounting rack for the Manzanita recharger and fastened it above the motor, in front of the firewall batteries.

The recharger was subsequently placed in it's rack and connected by three wires to the recharging port.

The recharging port replaced the old refueling port.

New components

We've decided to replace a few of the older components in the vehicle, such as...

The Contactor:

The Pot Box:

The Synkro Motive Controller, Various Wires, and other various Nuts, Bolts, Washers, Screws
