Re: OPTIMA Batteries SEMA 2015 Build
I'm sure the next picture will put the thread back on topic 
I love the battery tie down system. Talk about clean and secure.

Re: OPTIMA Batteries SEMA 2015 Build
I love Chris' waterjet logo on the tie down system.
It is truly a "cut above" in quality.

Thanks very much! Having that machine in the shop is great! We can do so much with it.

Re: OPTIMA Batteries SEMA 2015 Build
One of the upgrades for the SEMA van includes 2015 Sienna recliner style seats. This is the first pair I've seen in the "Chestnut Brown". Oh boy do they look good in this van!
I adapt the Ford seat belt pre-tensioner to the seat so the factory seat belts can be used and not upset the Restraints Control Module.
BTW... We've been trying for weeks to find some leather hides in this exact color to upholster the custom rear bench seat I've designed and it is proving to be very difficult. And by that I mean it might be impossible to find a match in the time we have left. Anyone out there in internet land happen to be or know a custom leather supplier who can get 3 hides of this *exact* material by end of next week? Two weeks max. *update* I think we have a couple options now. We should be good to go.

Re: OPTIMA Batteries SEMA 2015 Build
The SEMA van's mirror upgrade includes heated glass. To accomplish this in the van, I'm using a momentary-switched, time delay relay with cancel function. In simple terms that means that you press a momentary switch, the mirror glass heaters turn on for a set amount of time (adjustable from 0-30 mins) and you can also press the button again and shut off early if you want. The switch is mounted in an easy to see location on the door panel (from the driver's seat that is)...but somewhat inconspicuous to the rest of the world. The mirrors themselves have indicator lights to let you know that the defrosters are on.
The relay is similar to one of these:

Pretty cool little device actually. This company has a number of different types of relays. I can think of a several cool time delay functions for lights or fans or pumps or ???
Anyway... I was testing out the setup on my bench tonight to adjust the right time delay. Works great! One less thing to worry about.
