Well, you can’t always be perfect. Fortunately it’s nothing a little welding can’t fix. At least it makes for a good story! You can also see Haltech’s CAN hub, which will make it easy to connect all of the CAN devices together. Just plug them all in with their own cables and you’re all set. Haltech provides a full assortment of CAN cables in different lengths.
Not all of the Haltech equipment has a mounting hole, so heavy-duty hook/loop strip will be used. These type of adhesives are wear items, and should be regularly inspected. Who wants an ignitor flying around the cabin on track? Brackets could have been fabricated for every component, but that’s a little much.
Well, they’re really just small grommets, but they work great as vibration dampeners, too. All of the bolted components use these grommets between the component and the panel. The hook/loop attached units do not, as their adhesive strips and the hook/loop itself acts to reduce vibrations a little. This step likely isn’t critical, but it sure goes a long way to help ensure reliability for the long haul. A few seconds and a few bucks here and there makes for a much better race car and final product. A little attention to detail never lost a race, right?
On to the next project!
This location right next to the transmission tunnel and behind the passenger seat is as good as any. It’s also fairly flat. But it doesn’t have any good mounting holes in it, so we need to fix that.
