Some minor pounding created enough clearance for the rear rack to snugly fit into the engine compartment. Following another 914 conversion, I cut out the rubber inside the passenger compartment and drilled out the holes as I went. MUCH easier than trying to get all the holes done right the first time. I also got a lot more POR-15 for the exposed metal (during the various pounding episodes). This is starting to look like a real electric car!
Wiring is up next.
