88 Marathon AC Conversion Build
I picked this cart up for $940 delivered to my drive way. Did not run but was a clean chassis.
Starting this thread to keep myself motivated. The theme I have in mind for this cart Is "Rust Bucket" due to its age and dated look. Parts that have been ordered or that have arrived: - BB Eagl Lithium 60AH (can always add 3rd battery down road for 90) - 400 amp solenoid - TXT conversion harness - 0 - 5k ohm potentiometer - FNR switch - Run Tow Switch - 14" rims @ 20" height with no clearance issues - 600amp Navitas AC conversion (backordered a month) Future Plans: - Modified battery tray for cooler. Will fill gaps with diamond plate - Separate 12v system for accessories instead of running a V reducer - Modern Masters rust and copper patina paint anywhere there is yellow. Black will remain - Custom headlight knockouts - Black extended roof (unsure of what fits and havent researched) Pics bellow of what I've done so far..... First pic is what it looked like when I went to look at it. Thanks for viewing! |

Re: 88 Marathon AC Conversion Build
Small success today. The BB’s fit perfect. Otherwise would have went with ECOs.
Going to hold off on the install until the AC kit arrives. |

Re: 88 Marathon AC Conversion Build
Motor is in. Cut the left strut mount off and used HD zip ties to lower it in. Worked perfectly. Also mounted a thicker aluminum plate to mount the controller, parallel bus, and solenoid to.

Re: 88 Marathon AC Conversion Build
And todays progress. Mocked up wiring and mounts. Hopefully these through grommets will hold up for a little while.

Yesterdays progress: new battery config, power ran, wire harness ran, and modified 10mm x M5 Amazon ball end to fit the marathon throttle rod.
