Make a template for the back board. I’ll buy one from you.

Terminal Clearance!!! It’s gonna work. Only thing is I’m gonna have to make a New seat support because when the battery is kicked out towards the plastic (so the battery can lay back) it covers up the spot where the factory seat support go’s O well it’s a small price to pay for how things have gone this far. I can’t believe how smooth this things slid in with just me and the lift. It was so easy. ---

I cut the bottom leg off, intending to build new. Once I bolted it back in from aluminum to front fiberglass, called it good. I did have to notch for top corner of battery. You may not have to. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/6/6c47240b0989358791b5a893358e88c103860769.jpg) ---

I’m just cleaning up wires now. The Blue car was hella fast. This one with 80v seems like a stock gem compaired to the Blue car. Running 98v man that thing was fast. But I can already tell the rang in this is gonna be huge. Is a compromise I’m willing to accept now. I’m super happy with the battery and install. Thanks Dave you have been a great help. Im getting back to work now ---

(Passenger side rear passenger) then the red B+ cable go’s all the way to drivers side. B- comes in Drivers side and go’s up to the shunt .(Drivers side rear passenger) and then go’s across to pretty much dead center of the batter for B- ---
