VW Bus Electric Conversion Part 6: Contactor Box and High Voltage Wiring

Part 6 of a longer series on my 1978 Volkswagen Bus electric vehicle (EV) conversion. in this video, I construct a custom contactor box and show you how I create custom 2/0 high voltage cables with crimped lugs.

very cool. consider wrapping those high voltage wires in orange tape or something so that emergency workers will know they are high-voltage. Thanks so much for videoing and sharing all this stuff. Such a great resource for people now and in the future!

That is an excellent idea! If you have a recommendation for a good tape that doesn't get hard or lose adhesion like some electrical tapes, let me know. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much. Very informative!

Thanks for the great video. Would you share where you bought those twisted copper bars, as well as the 90-degree copper bars? Those are useful. Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words! I don't remember where I bought those copper bars, but they are basically like this: amzn.to/3PsHHCt. I drilled the holes and twisted or bent them myself in my vise.
