The fans normally use #8-32 x -1/2" machine screws with nylon insert nuts to secure the fans in place, but these had to be longer to accommodate for the extra piece that was added to the fans. Each fan also has a grill to protect it, which the screw goes through and then the outside of the box.
This is an image showing the screws being added to the grill and fan before it was changed to go on the inside of the box.
Installing the wire clamps, where they were left open until the end of the build to hold the wires. It uses one #10-24 x 3/4" machine screw with a washer and nylon inset nut for each of the 5 clamps. The clamps hold the fan and converter wires.

This is the auxiliary battery. The battery is held down with the metal strap. It uses two 1/4"-20 x 4" bolts with flat washers and nylon insert nuts, which come up through the bottom of the plate.
The motor cable fitting goes in the center hole in the rear wall of the control box. The metal part goes on the inside of the box.

The +A1 side faces the rear of the box, and the -A2 side faces the front of the box. The incoming positive voltage goes to the +A1 pole of the contractor.
