Back Seat Battery Tray Mounting of the Battery Safety Hardware

There is a deck area immediately adjacent to the rear bulkhead that separates the passenger compartment from the trunk, where four 0.75" openings can be found that are sealed with plastic plugs.  After the plugs are removed, these holes can be use as mounting points, and the center two could be used for the temporary placement of the trunk battery safety hardware (fuses and relays).


Picture DSC03858 of the rear deck at the front of the trunk compartment.  The potential mounting holes are in a straight line with the center pair 14.125" apart and the outer pair 24.375" apart.

The placement of the back seat battery pack also provides for an alternative mounting point of the battery safety hardware (fuses and relays).  A mounting surface can be created by attaching a pair of brackets to the side of the back seat battery tray (picture DSC03869),

Picture DSC03919 showing the two fuses (left) and two relays (right) after they were mounted to the battery tray brackets.  The battery pack outputs enter from the left and then exit to the far right.  The small gauge wires (middle right) that control the Zonka relays are connected to a terminal strip that is located at the far right of the assembly (not pictured),
