Parts have arrived all in good shape. The interesting part of working off of someone else’s wiring/ prefabricated parts is in reconfiguring the fit. Today I mounted the switch box., connected the primary and secondary circuits to the controller , mounted shunt on the motor. And played around with the brake pump. Jr sent me most of the 2-0 gauge jumpers that he had used in his car but they weren’t quite right, but some did fit.
