solar panel install347 viewsAt least at this point, I mounted it by using Clear Silicone RTV. This stuff is kind of like glue, but can be removed. If it doesn't hold up after curing and driving, I'll remove it and come up with another plan. I used heavy cable ties on the 4 grommets, in case it lets loose, it won't take out my wiring and the car behind me. 2 Panels are dandy like this, but I don't want to permanently block the roof space.

Brake_Switch_inside_showing_dual_contacts_7d356c68.jpg
Black Deposits to interior of Brake Light Switch2831 viewsThere are two contacts, one on each side of the vertical plunger under the copper metal. The set of normally open contacts on the left side that carries the power for the brake light filaments, (15 amp fuse F15P), is apparently not heavy enough as the contacts deteriorate and generate the black residue.

The set of normally closed contacts on the other side appear to be sized OK. There is not as much current, (5 amp fuse F66P), flowing thru the contacts to the ABS module, however the contacts are likely adversely affected by the black residue produced by the other deteriorating set of contacts.

One presumes/hopes that the newer replacement switch now has contacts heavy enough to carry the brake light power. It would be ideal if the ABS set of contacts were sealed from the brake light contacts to prevent contamination of the normally closed set of contacts.

Last D3 through the deep crossing228 viewsThe water was stirred up by this time (didn't start off too clean due to heavy rains in the previous week) water was between 500 and 600mm deep depending on where the driver crossed. Away from the tree was slightly deeper but most drivers chose that line to be well clear of the tree.

UHF Antenna Mount384 viewsView from underside of bonnet. The lower half of the mount is folded from stainless steel and bolted through an exisitng oval shaped hole in the bonnet. This hole is throught the heavy steel plate that the bonnet hinges bolt to - not just the aluminium panel. A specially machined rectangular nut was made to pass through the oval hole, rotate 90 degrees and then stopped from turning by a slight shoulder on the nut.

Towing 07032008 001a.jpg
Towing outfit200 viewsTowing our Trailcraft 5.4m "Panorama Dirt Road" caravan (March 2008).

Heavy duty springs and 150mm hitch riser on LR "plough" has made the outfit level. There's a slight nose-up attitude and some pitching front and back whilst under-way. We're looking forward to taking delivery of a Mitchell Bros towbar so that we can use our Hayman Reece weight distribution hitch (which will correct the nose-up and reduce the front-back pitch).
