I will be designing the basic look and measurements of the mounts using Autodesk Fusion 360, a CAD program, the completed designs will be used to determine the approximate amount of materials needed. Then the metal will be cut and welded together and any minor changes needed will be made during that process.
So first off is to make rough CAD drawings to get the approximate amount of materials required and to measure all the clearances needed for the bonnet, frame rails, etc.
First up, and the rear battery mount for the boot
and the front battery mount for under the bonnet
Now to buy the metal needed which, with potential mistakes in mind, came to
