Engine and Firewall Forward Kit

Oil Cooler Air Valve, EarthX battery BMS ( 2 hrs )

Connected cable at air valve control arm.  Used -12 size cushion clamp on Engine Mount tube to mount a -3 size to constrain cable.   Added redundant collar (positioned to enable opening IF primary set screw loosens), and wrapped extra cable around arm.  Overall, works great.   Added spade connector to brown/blue stripe EarthX Discrete wire = "Discrete in 5" (GAD27, pin 13).  Will configure as "active low".   This enables BMS (battery mgmt system) to signal G3X display condition of overcharging, or over-discharging.

Full open.  Note cushion clamps on engine
mount tube holding cable in position.
Fully closed.
