that thought crossed my mind and the holes seemed too far away from the edge at least an inch away possibly 1.5"

thank you so much I appreciate that, and will need to order some

reserved for some pics of the finished transmission cable linkage if and when my friends show up to help me, one says he has a cracked rib from working on his friend's GTzero and the other claims to have fallen off his bicycle into some strategically placed poison oak [again]

This is using B&M push pull cable designed for a dime a dozen American GM Turbo TH350 three-speed transmission

shown going through the gears: PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE

a little video of it in action: B&M Shifter with Lexus GS450h transmission

**Gregski** · 06-23-2023, 09:46 AM

this is not for the faint of heart

**Gregski** · 06-23-2023, 09:47 AM

**8man** · 06-23-2023, 10:22 AM

B.. A.. Awg.

thank you sir, according to that chart, a 9mm diameter puts us at 00 AWG so nearly twice the size of the 4 AWG kit I bought, however than I found these guys who claim 9mm takes a 1 AWG crimpy crimp

**Gregski** · 06-23-2023, 09:57 AM

so thinking something like this with some M6 ring terminals crimped on the ends

so this high voltage (360 volt) connection from that horizontal plug to the silver box (aka Inverter) is only live when the truck is on / running, when the truck is Off you can touch this cable and there is no juice in it

Could you please give info on the 3 hole device on page 1656? What are its functions and dimensions, etc? Thanks

aha yes the Dual QC3.0 Cigarette Lighter Socket Splitter, USB Car Charger Socket Panel Switch 250W Waterproof 12V Dual USB Charger Power Adapter Outlet with Aluminum Shell for Car Boat Marine, or as I like to call it: The Hole Filler

**Gregski** · 06-24-2023, 08:57 AM

and here's what happens if you leave me unsupervised and I'm waiting on parts to arrive

apologies for the bad pics

**Gregski** · 06-24-2023, 09:04 AM

as you can see the coveted radio delete plate was bastardized already

**Gregski** · 06-24-2023, 09:05 AM

one down, two to go...

**Gregski** · 06-24-2023, 09:08 AM

bro are you seriously going to show us a hole by hole update?

maybe!

**Gregski** · 06-24-2023, 09:09 AM

alright let's try a test fit

**Gregski** · 06-24-2023, 09:10 AM

stop screwing around

**Gregski** · 06-24-2023, 09:12 AM

someday this shall get some paint

**Gregski** · 06-28-2023, 01:42 PM

I really hope using a long stand off like a 1.5" will be ok cause I really don't want to redo the Inverter bracket

**Gregski** · 06-28-2023, 01:44 PM

I figure with the popularity of the sport we may have folks of different skill levels so it don't hurt to share some basic stuff like crimpin'

so this crimper aint the best, it leaves sharp edges, hence the file, now if you crimp in two steps, using something like a 35mm jaws then go down to 25mm ones you can sort of minimize the sharp edges, but if you just use the 25mm jaws you get a razer blade like edge to file away

**Gregski** · 06-28-2023, 01:52 PM

decided to remove the OEM Lexus battery and AC connector off of the Inverter and block it off with a simple cover

**Gregski** · 06-28-2023, 01:53 PM

using only the the finest of scrap pieces of metal
