Yes for box. Cooling, not sure, probably not, didn't seem to use it in the van

It's only one battery module held in place by a bungee cord but I needed the motivation boost.

You've solved the DVLA issue of not welding to the chassis. Nothing written about the use of bungees!

Not done a video this week as its just boring battery box stuff, but here's some photos. Will put out a battery box video when there's more to show for it.
The 2 long sides and lid will screw on, the bottom and end 2 panels will be welded on.
Still todo:
Battery Box (obvs)
Battery Box mounting
Move inverter
Mount charger/DCDC
Mount Charge port
Add loads of beef to the transmission mounts.
Radiator mount
Cooling plumbing.
A lot to get done for April
Later to do:
Heat
Air Con

Not updated this thread in a while. Still not finished the battery box, but taken a break from it to start mounting the charge port.
So got the battery box in place, I need to redo the front mounting so that it's on rubber engine mounts. Moved the inverter off to the side there and the charger will go in front of the inverter
Not sure why the photo is upside down, but the mounting is solid, and it'll need to be with CCS cable weights and it mounted sideways. Need to secure the wiring to the body. There's plenty of space there to mount a UHI/FOCCI so the CP wiring is as short as possible for CCS, but for now, will connect directly to the outlander charger.So got the battery box in place, I need to redo the front mounting so that it's on rubber engine mounts.

just watched your latest vid, getting there, your welding is improving also but the sound was really quiet

The wire feed mod has made a big difference
