If the fuel were so cheap here, I would continue to drive with petrol. We get 12 gallons for $100!

this morning I was greeted by this dreaded hard drive failure on my primary home computer where I keep all my EV Conversion pics and documentation

the Intel SSD 535 Series hard drive just failed

480 GB Solid State Drive

I'm an IT guy but this sucks ballz! I tried to tether it to a working laptop as an external drive but it won't even power up

Never store important information on the SSD, quite often they fail beyond recovery. You can look at the manufacturer's website for recovery utilities, or contact Intel technical support.

Me: for this project I will only use the strongest and lightest of metals, preferably unobtanium or at the very least aluminum

also Me: let's just check the scrap pile first

Sorry to hear about your IT issues :-(

Have you compensated for the off-axis EM emissions coupled with the asymmetrical flux linkage distribution and its effects on the variable displacement between transmission housing and inverter envelopes?

I don't usually stop to check if the cables will reach the component I am trying to install, but when I do, I make sure it is when I am half way through making the bracket...

I am really not a fan of this run both cables to one side design (ie East), plus one of my cables has a booboo owie so I decided to unwrap it in hopes of heeling it and seeing if it can be rerouted Westward

one of many, many, trial fitments (FYI, if frame rail hurdles ever become an Olympic event, I will bring home both the Gold and Silver medals for team USA)
IMG_1518.JPG

I need one of them 90° drill extensions to drill out this one and single hole in the frame cause the firewall is in the way even with the cab unbolted and slid further back, and I don't feel like unbolting the bed of the truck
