good and bad news
Today was a good day for the project except the last 10 min.
I find a place to buy welding 2/0 cable for a very good price. tomorrow I will order about 40 feet with the appropriate lugs and heatshrink.
However, I did discover a mouse’s nest in the ventilation system of the car. I am very disappointed but I was expecting it since another car store at the same place had a nest too.
Therefore tomorrow morning’s plan have change a little. I little disassemble the dash and remove and clean the ventilation system.
i will also disassemble the rear seat. I saw a similar conversion on a Neon and the space below the rear seat was used for battery. I like this idea since battery mass will be more centered. However, I want rear seatbelt to ensure proper protection so I will not cut anywhere near of them.
I now have 5 x12 V car battery. i need to find one more to test motor on 72 V. If documentation is right, I can have about 70 ft-pound of torque on 72V… using 334 A. I will not test this since battery won’t provide 334 A !
