Family Day - Still trying to get it done - Made it to the show - by 11 AM

I woke up to a Rainy day first thing today! Still did not have the Instruments in and wired up - and was concerned as to how to reach the gauges with the short Voltmeter wires, so - I made up a set of extensions for the lead to the voltmeter as well - about 14" - just enough to cover the needed reach!

Then I got the New EV Cluster inserted into place on the console cluster, and went to work getting the PakTrakr wired and Mounted. Got all my Remotes plugged in to the display, and the Serial interface as well, then connected the Amp sensor connector into the serial connector, and got the Amp Settings re-set and confirmed.

Powered up the Woodward Display, secured the PakTrakr - and placed the Blue Power indicator LED into a hole for the screws where will be secured the heater selector, and so I can see it!

Finally - got the Drivers and Passenger Seats installed - and took the shop cover off the Drivers Seat. We were already to go - when wee discovered - I had missed re-attaching the Seat Belts - so had to go and grap my ratchet and 14 mm socket and get that done!

Ok - It's time - off we went to the Site at Downsview - got set up - and were there for at least 4 hours.

The crowds at times were 10 - 15 people around the car, and the usual questions of range, speed, charging time were asked.

A few asked to be included in getting some more information and to be kept up to date!, and I handed out a few business cards where suitable.
