I need to do a few extra things, like adding a pushbutton (which I
do
not have yet, I bought it on ebay yesterday), some crimpable butt
splices and ring terminals, and preferably adding a second motor
starter instead of a definite purpose contactor. The starter would
add
overload protection, which the 10 HP motor has but 7.5 HP motor does
not yet.

I don't wish to be critical but for your own safety I would be
concerned about the cables that emerge from the cut end of what
appears to be a metal flexible conduit without protection. They will
chaff over the months with the motor vibrations. I endorse the other
comment about a bleed resistor across the capacitor bank to discharge
them when the beast is 'off'.
