Some progress with the battery boxes again. Added EPDM rubber between the boxes and the covers, used a hole punch set to easily cut the holes into it.
And everything attached again, also added the cable glands. Wanted to see what it'd look like. The battery boxes are completely water- and dustproof like this.
I also placed them all in the frame for now. I'll have to find a good way to attach the battery boxes firmly onto the frame now. I was thinking to place some aluminium corner profiles around the boxes and make some mounting points on there. But I'm not sure if that can be done. These profiles can only be 1,5 mm thick, otherwise they won't fit in the frame anymore.
And a complete picture of it. Others place very big engines in their frames, I just place some plastic boxes in it.
Think it'll be quite a challenge to properly attach everything.
