Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
reserved for some pics of the finished transmission cable linkage if and when my friends show up to help me, one says he has a cracked rib from working on his friend's GTzero and the other claims to have fallen off his bicycle into some strategically placed poison oak [again]

This is using B&M push pull cable designed for a dime a dozen American GM Turbo TH350 three-speed transmission

shown going through the gears: PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE

a little video of it in action: B&M Shifter with Lexus GS450h transmission

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so thinking something like this with some M6 ring terminals crimped on the ends

so this high voltage (360 volt) connection from that horizontal plug to the silver box (aka Inverter) is only live when the truck is on / running, when the truck is Off you can touch this cable and there is no juice in it

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I really hope using a long stand off like a 1.5" will be ok cause I really don't want to redo the Inverter bracket

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I figure with the popularity of the sport we may have folks of different skill levels so it don't hurt to share some basic stuff like crimpin'

so this crimper aint the best, it leaves sharp edges, hence the file, now if you crimp in two steps, using something like a 35mm jaws then go down to 25mm ones you can sort of minimize the sharp edges, but if you just use the 25mm jaws you get a razer blade like edge to file away
