5. Fuse, contactor, and distribution box
Here is the rough outline of the Fuse box. Battery output cables pass through the wall of the battery box directly into this box.
A high voltage contactor unit will also reside in this box. This allows for disconnecting power when the key switch is off and to comply to the drag racing requirement of having a shutoff switch exposed on the rear of the vehicle.
The larger outline shows the plane of the panel that will seal off all of the battery module terminals
August 2008 update:
These large contactors (in the white enclosure) that came with the motor Inverter will be relocated into this odd shaped space.
I will make an aluminum skinned box to fit. I will use these 2 embedded captive nuts as a mount point on one end and the battery box mount plate on the other.
