I picked up a sdu i was wondering can the inverter be Relocated?
Obviously cover plates need to be made what size wire would be sufficient?

I have the same question / situation. I used/plan to use 70mm2.
The acces holes to the motor poles now have a cover plate with 3 EMC clamps.

The encoder and thermistor I used 7x0.5mm2 wire.

I made alloy cover for the inverter and a cover for the engine.

I will post some pictures in my build thread when I mount it.
(Panamera build)

Yes I'm doing it for my 1991 300ce mercedes-benz conversion project. Only have 18.5 in to install sdu rear.

Update

Inverter 1 inch off set Spacer STL files

PCB design to connect the Encoder from the motor.

Mind sharing the cad for the endplate. After destroying two sdu inverters with my v4 board I might try with a less expensive volt inverter.

All done on 3D printer.

I did the cover plates with a roter bit.over the inverter edge
