  1. Not a lot of time this evening. Just enough to crane the battery box into the engine bay.

    Weighed it while I was at it. The box and HVJB come in at 96kg. Quite a bit less than I thought. I was expecting a good bit over 100kg.

  6. Battery box is DONE!

    It was a little nerve wracking making all of the connections, not gonna lie. I checked and rechecked every connection to make sure it was right. Plus I had a very specific order for plugging things in to minimise danger. Having the pack sitting at full voltage before closing the last panel was a sweaty moment.

  11. Accelerator pedal went in yesterday.

    One bolt through the floor at the bottom. Another bolt through a brackety thing at the top. Made the brackety thing by sticking a bit of flat bar in the vice and just whacking it into shape. Came out fairly neat. Will need a coat of paint, but time is really ticking so that is squarely in the domain of “later problems”.

  16. Stripped down the original loom for the BMS to just the bare bones that I needed last night. Didn’t want a bunch of extra loose plugs and wires knocking around the inside of my battery pack. It’s now just power for the satellites and the can loop the runs from module to module. Plugged it all in this morning to make sure I can pull data out of the pack.

  21. This battery is starting to look like something. This is the driver side; the front of the pack is on the left of the photo. The thick orange HV cables are just loosely put in place to check fit. Nothing to accidentally touch that’s over ~50V at this point. The little black boxes strapped to the end of each module are original BMS satellites (this pack came out of a BMW).

  26. These long summer evenings are great for getting stuff done on the car.

    All of the bits to go into the engine bay are painted. They’re not beautiful, but they will definitely do. I got sick of dealing with the spray gun so I just painted them with a brush.

  31. Today I made an extension for the pushrod on the brake booster so it’s actually, y’know, connected to the pedal. This is one of those reminders that you can do a lot with just an angle grinder and a welder. It’s just a thickish piece of flat bar with a hole at either end.

  36. It has been a good while since I’ve posted any update on the Mustang. I haven’t been idle mind! The big thing I’ve been working on is The Driveshaft Saga. It was something that I predicted would be a pain, and, sure enough, it was.
