First i put 6m of 50mm2 welding cable inside plastic orange tube. This regulation is because first responders need to know the HV supply routing in case they have to cut the chassis in an accident.
So i got a suitable orange plastic tubing and streched it on the ground. Then i applied generous ammount of WD40 lubricant in the tube. Also i lubed the front end of the cable.
Then i pushed the 6m of the cable through the tube. My son was shaking the tube back and forth and this assisted the cable in its path. I left like 30cm of cable overhang on each end to get the cable into the box.
I then routed the cable from the cars back end towards the front through the channel. I used the charger which is mounted there as support for the cables.
I used many DIY cable clamps to fix the cable in position. Clamps are made from perforated steel band that you can buy in hardware store. I added heat shrink so steel wouldnt damage the cables.
Both + and – cables are pulled from the channel and routed so that + cable connects into front box. From there another cable will run to DC switch and then to inverter DC supply. – cable will connect to inverter supply directly.
