Minor progress update again. :)

Got the leaking steering box finally sealed and reinstalled. Steering is working again! Then went on to powder coat and bolt down the gas pedal mount and finally installed bunch of plugs and made some lasercut cover plates to cover all the (now) unnecessary holes in the floor.

Meanwhile been planning the motor phase connectors and inverter placement. I don't have enough room to comfortably pull the phases out from the top as they normally do, but I *think* I can connect to them from the side via a small maintenance hatch instead. 😏

Allllmoost got this spring back on today. This was a total pain in the ass. I used the outer spring compressors (shown) to get these springs off originally. But I had a hard time using them to get the spring back in. This was in part due to the fact that the spring perch is new and too stiff to be bent by hand. But also the compressors just kept ending up in the way - bonking off the tower or perch.

Polling fedi engineer people before attempting to learn how to calculate this myself. 😄

Mounting the motor like this is going to be alright? Right? 😄 (view from above)

There's going to be 4th mounting point above the stack as well just for the safety. But ideally I want these three to be able to support the motor on their own.

Using the original mounting points and rubber vibration dampener mounts, but slightly concerned about the long beams deflection/yield. Would *not* want to lose the motor onto a motorway!

While being demotivated from figuring out what I should do with the front axle, I decided to turn my attention to the ZombieVerter VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) which - eventually - will control the CANbus and vehicle electricals.

Ordered during the worst global chip shortage, I had to source a few IC's afterwards. Thanks to @tamperehacklab@qoto.org for teaching me how to solder them. :)
