Why am I up so early, it's 7:30 am here. Why are you up so early?

**Gregski** · 06-16-2023, 08:31 AM

Top Tip: always try and buy as much OEM stuff as you can, ask for pig tails, ask for cables, as you wheel and deal, and the seller is firm on the price, say something like: "that sounds good, but will you throw in the cables?" and 86.54% of the time they might

Ahhh! You know, "it ain't a lie if you believe it your own self!"

**Gregski** · 06-16-2023, 08:41 AM

these fat long orange cables will get cut to size, we may just need like 18"

**Gregski** · 06-16-2023, 08:42 AM

Not bad for government work !

**Gregski** · 06-17-2023, 10:21 AM

so got the Battery Tray Lid DC-DC Converter Holder (or BTLDCDCCH for short) in the good ol' organic free range BTLDCDCCH vice and decided to make things a bit sexy

**Gregski** · 06-17-2023, 10:24 AM

those eagle eyed amongst you may notice the front two 7/16" studs are missing their acorn nuts, well, the struggle is real, take a look below at what my local ACE Hardware store carries (or should I say does NOT carry), they seriously jump from 3/8" to 1/2" you can't make this stuff up folks:

**pjmoreland** · 06-17-2023, 06:05 PM

I love spending half my Saturday driving around looking for stuff

cornerstone · 06-17-2023, 08:47 PM

Please tell me they are charging by the pound and not by the piece.

That is for each. Just remember they are stainless and they are sold in California.

**Gregski** · 06-18-2023, 09:49 AM

Let's see where we can shove these?

**Gregski** · 06-18-2023, 09:54 AM

six holes each and Home Depot still got em wrong, so I had to moke some modifications, I can't stand aftermarket EV conversion parts

**Gregski** · 06-18-2023, 10:11 AM

a little trial fit

**Gregski** · 06-18-2023, 10:17 AM

the angle triangle is just a prop

**Gregski** · 06-18-2023, 10:21 AM

time to poke some holes

**Gregski** · 06-18-2023, 10:21 AM

that's not too shabby

**Gregski** · 06-18-2023, 10:25 AM

[slow] progress not perfection

**8man** · 06-18-2023, 10:49 AM

Amen brother!

Slow and steady wins

**Gregski** · 06-19-2023, 08:54 AM

in keeping up with the current social media trends I now break my silence on the water pump installation

one or two of the many part numbers
PN: 6008047-00-E, 1035348-00-G

What will this pump cool?

the Lexus transmission (it has two electric motors inside of it)
the Lexus Inverter (think carburetor/distributor combo)
the Chevy Volt battery charger

FYI the Chevy Volt DC DC Converter (aka alternator) is air cooled and does not require the water pump action

**Gregski** · 06-19-2023, 08:56 AM

so I call this the Tesla Model S water pump but I think someone else makes it for them and the only thing that makes it Tesla is this neat rubber bracket
