When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread
So since I pulled the alternator and the engine / EFI harness. I figured what the hell, I may as well upgrade the fan inside the battery box. I'm going from a 22 CFM fan to an 80 CFM fan. I also need to transfer a hole into the battery tray for more air. I ordered some frogzskins hydrophobic mesh. So I'll put a mesh screen on the bottom side of the fan and I'll cut vent holes in the top of the battery box lid to aid in better air circulation. I also ordered some polyethylene 1/8" rod to friction weld the battery box for more strength. So, here are the pics of battery box deconstructed as of today. These pics show SSD relays, grounding bus, battery common stud, CDI ignition, ECU, ABS battery box and fan. Lithium battery is not pictured.
