Hi

Sore knees,bad back. wheel boxes mounted but I am struggling to find a suitable place to fit motor always seems to be something in the way.

 

 

All you S7 owners help Or anyone with a idea

I have a Series 3 but I think the scuttles are very similar. Mine is on the back of the scuttle on the passenger side:

Hi guys

That's how I was going to fix it but on the other side in the engine Bay Area

Is the battery and fuses and relays.

 

May have to remove battery. And fuses and relays then drill holes and put back in place looks a steep bend to 1st wheelbox

 

Thanks

Mine's the same. The bend is a nice curve, it just takes patience! I had to mount the motor on a 20mm packer to get the curve smooth enough to allow the rack to move easily.

My s7 battery is in the middle right beside pedal box and fuses right beside..

[Guest Howtightpet]

That's kit cars just lucky steering wheel is not in the middle :-(((

[Guest janis]

And screenwash bottle beside fuse box on the left side..

[Guest Howtightpet]

Well that's something else will not fit I will make a bracket on battery and hang the bag type.

Why didn't I just stay with a aero screen I will tell you why. Her indoors that must be obeyed well she thinks that, keeps her happy and me in the garage better than the shed

Right motor found its home with about of re jigging wheel boxes correct now .

 

 

Now last wheelbox and fit a bit of tube

 

Question is. The cable that runs through. Is still miles long can you cut it ?? Or will it split to long just to leave. Dangling

 

Help nearly finished. Wiring all done it works and parks. Yessssss.

Just what to do with cable. Please

I would think you could cut it.

 

Cut it to length + 1" - 1 1/2" and put an 1" of heat shrink on the trimmed end.

[cb750]

Cut mine with no problems using the angry grinder. Make sure that the cable is at full extension in the tube before cutting otherwise it could be too short when the wipers sweep. Mine moves in the last bit of tube and didn't need to add any heat shrink but I made sure the cable end was rounded smooth.

Fit heat shrink or even insulting tape to cable befor cutting. This will stop the cable splaying.
