Yeah, i was planning on welding in perforated aluminium sheet panels in front for large debris and then making a hole cap with some clothe type material.
Fechter, i have some issues with contactor. On the video it worked and now it does not the way it should and i cant find what i did wrong. Basically i have a fingerprint scanner with 2 relays. one is used for ignition and one for speed limiting. For speed, relay just connects that resistor in parallel and that's that.
The other controls the wire that goes to controllers ignition. I have also connected contactor coil to it so once correct fingerprint is detected, it engages relay and both contactor coil and controller ignition is activated.
The fingerprint scanner has a switch as well which activates 12V going into scanner to power it on.
The problem is, when i switch the scanner off, contactor stays engaged and i don't know why because scanner relay is disengaged up on switching of scanner power. Contactor disengages only when i switch off main switch. Main switch activates precharge and DC/DC converter. I don't know how contactor coil gets power to stay engaged.
I have diode across contactor coil as Alltrax suggest (only 1N4007 instead of 1N4004, but that should not matter). Also i have not changed the resistor from 470ohm to 250ohm which is required for 36V.
