Firewall Forward Kit

EarthX  ETX680 battery installed, etc ( 1 hr)

Back from winter break in Arizona, so back to building.  Rec'd EarthX680 (LiFePO4) battery.  Only 3.9 lbs, saving about 11 lbs vs lead acid.  Installed with provided closed cell foam pads, retained with same FF01403A Battery Box Angle.  Need to change orientation of oil cooler elbow fitting for VA-190 hose as'ly, since hose interferes with battery box angle.  Per Fig 1, sect 49-07, Step 1 installed at 82 deg, but needs to be few degrees more "vertical".
