Progress so far...

Did some more work on Sunday. I installed the controller and cooling system to test fit things.


The green box above the motor is the Zilla power section. The green box to the left is the Hairball. The blue thing to the left of that is the coolant reservoir. On the bottom of the compartment to the left of the motor are the coolant pump and the radiator (with two fans).


Here's some shots (including a finger) of the liquid-tight conduits that run from the motor compartment to the trunk up front:


You can see the ends of the conduits near the bottom of the motor compartment. Also I ran four pool vacuum hose extensions from the motor compartment to the old heater duct holes under the rear seat, to provide routing for all the wires that need to go up to the front of the car.


In the 4/0 cable loop between the brush end of the motor and the field terminals is the 600A hall-effect current sensor.
