Had to remake the battery boxes. Standing them on the side reduced the height of the box but made the particular awkward to work with, I just couldn't seem to get everything to sit nicely. Made a better job of the second boxes. Felt I could also do away with the middle piece and actually have them as two boxes. Everything fits better now.
Made of some of the cables and sheathed them with the stainless braid. There will be 6 sheathed cables running down the scooter. The sheath really improves the look, will look like some huge power cables, but actually inside is just control cables. The cables which come from the controller are made of to an amphenol plug. This will then go through a small box, basically there will be four sockets on the box. This will allow me to transfer from the controller plugs and configuration to send everything to their appropriate place out the other end. Have yet to make this box but won't take long as will only be small.
Still yet to mount controller or contactor. This job is really alot bigger than I imagine. I been up to 2am most nights soldering connections, 8 x 8 series batteries means everything is multiplied from my last build, used 20m of 1.5mm heat shrink, plus all the other sized heat shrink I have used. Nearly done a whole roll of solder too. I think I am about 75% through the electrics. Hope to have the project running by the weekend.
Here is a couple pics of where I am at.
