I did mine on an E15 in a couple of weekends.  That included making my own 
dash-mounted pot and reverse switch mount.  I added a reverse beeper and a 
key-on warning buzzer with another Saturday afternoon.  Note that I did 
NOT 
replace all of the high current motor wiring, though I probably should 
have. 
 I DID replace all the wiring behind the dash panel.

I did not mount the contactor on the Alltrax as suggested.  That would 
have 
limited where I could mount the controller because of clearance problems.  
I 
left the contactor where it already was and mounted the controller above 
it.

I also put the motor temp switch in the controller enable line, not in 
series with the power as Steve suggested.

I like your charging contactor and the fiber optic link to the controller 
LED.  Good ideas.

     To die for an idea is unquestionably noble.  But how much 
     nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!
