Batteries Installed and Suspension Replaced

6/25/2009

The battery trays are complete, installed, and painted.  The six front batteries are installed and wired and the PakTraker, battery monitoring system, has been wired.
Now that we have installed the forward batteries, we have found that the suspension system will need to be upgraded with stiffer coil springs to compensate for the extra weight up front.  With stock springs the Spitfire is riding pretty low.
We also got the electronics board wired with the circuit breaker, main contactor, amp meter, and main fuse.  We used 1/4" copper to wire the components together.
