New cooling reservoir & front battery box

I have completed the assembly of the ABS sheets into a solid plastic box for the lithium cells in the front, and the box fits into the steel frame like a glove. Here is a picture:
The clear lexan lid isn't here yet, so I am working out where the cable in holes and fuse block mounts should be. Also, the new Zilla cooling reservoir, possessing a mammoth 2.5 gallon capacity, has been installed as well. Here's another pic:


I had the reservoir custom-made by a vendor that makes plastic fuel tanks. The 'customization' is that this tank has welded 3/8" ribbed fittings on both ends, for flow and cooling of the liquid coming from the motor controller. Note that the tank is now positioned in the direct airflow of the front grill, which should help in overall cooling. I used modified ratchet-down straps for the tank - looks a little temporary, but they do a nice job - very solid. If I find ratchet hold-downs that are a little more permanent, I might replace them.

Note also the fluid pump sitting nearby. That will be put in series with the tank, and will be held down by super-strong double-stick tape pads.

One week to February, which means batteries are almost here!!
