Mechanical Sub Parts

    • Air vents in tire well - This is a quick project that you can do to your car today. Remove spare tire and the two black drain plugs that sit in the tire well. You may have to use a dremmel to open the hole so you can drop in the [Delete later-(Ron I think I found a piece of conduit that will flush mount in here. The PVC pipe can be glued to it. I’ll get you a part number and picture. By doing this a project could be prepped weeks in advance and the spare will still fit in there until the final conversion days.) ] 2” PVC threaded coupling. Next connect the 2” 90 deg. Elbow and then a length of 2” PVC pipe per this photo (add photo showing underside of car with both pipes pointing back to the rear.)
    • Battery box base (Tom)
    • Battery trays (Tom)
    • Plastic parts mounting board (Little Jim)
    • Anti arc mounted to contactor - You will need a (identifying terminology here) capacitor part number (#) and solder one side to a “ ” ohm resistor and a matching length of wire to the other side of the capacitor. Once this has been completed cover the exposed wires with shrink wrap. Finally, crimp ring connectors to each end and solder in place for a better connection. (Add photo)
    • Heating pad power boxes (Ron, can this now be shrunk down to a single three outlet box?)
    • Charger mounting
    • Battery box mounting (Tom)
    • Power cord mounting (Little Jim or Tom)
    • Kil-a-watts meter mounting (Little Jim) Isn’t this just plugged in?
    • Amp meter mounting (Ron is the amp meter still needed? Should we put this as optional?)
    • Diagnostic LEDs mounting - Use Velcro to mount it just inside the glass door under the radio. To run the ribbon cable, open up the dash and run a cable as shown it this diagram. (Make and add diagram.)
    • V4 Screen mounting
    • CAN-View mounting
    • Prius disassembly and reassembly
