The fuel tank tub got stripped back to bare metal with a polycarbide disc. Then a coat of zinc etch primer and a coat of black.

Did a quick test fit of the HV cables that'll run from the inverter to the motor of course. The long one goes to the near port and the short one goes to the far port - so they're sort of backward lengthwise, but there's plenty of length, so no worries really.

After some cutting/welding/grinding I ended up with this.

I was pretty happy with myself until I realised my mistake. The front mount is 'hard-mounted' but the other two are 'soft-mounted'. I.e., they're sitting on top of the rubber land rover engine mounts.

So, I'll have to re-do the front mount. It'll need to attach to the faceplate like the others. Ah well, it's only tacked together.
