Ol' sparky

I have finished figuring out where the batteries will sit. The spare tire well is almost perfectly sized for the pack. I will probably relocate the spare underneath the car in place of the gas tank.

While I was looking things over, I learned why British cars are infamous for their dodgy wiring.

Nothing like unsupported wires rubbing against the gas spout... and is that a twisted-together "connector"? I hope that was an aftermarket accessory. The factory connectors look pretty smashing as well:


I'm hoping these practices won't rub off on me when it's time to do the high-voltage wiring
