Thanks for all those replies guys.

I reckon the ash-tray idea looks good. How & from what did you make the facia Smitty?

Otherwise, by the left knee with one screw looks the go. Nice & easy.

Where's your CB?

Just getting my first CB radio (a uniden 077 if anyone wants to give me some feedback on this model), and just wondering where is the best place to fit it in my GQ. The space under the radio in the centre console seems the obvious spot, but the CB is not the same size as the space - so it'd take a ...

Thanx for the replies fellas. It says it is a 100A HD solenoid on the box, and the speil on eBay when I brought it said it was continuous duty type. So unless I've been duped... Also I don't think it is too close to anything else hot. It's at the rear of the engine bay on the passenger side. I'll ...

Dual battery solenoid

Hi all.
I've installed a 100A continuous Heavy Duty solenoid between my batteries (on a GQ Patrol).
I took the truck for it's first run since, everything seems to work fine, but I noticed the solenoid got extremely hot. I only went for a 5 or 6k journey.
Is this usual?

ELV socket wiring

Just installed an ELV socket in the rear of my GQ running off the 2nd battery. I'll be making up a 'socket box' to plug into it. Can anyone tell me which of the pins should be connected to +ve and which to -ve? There are no markings on them. The two pins are positioned like a 'T'. I know that I can ...

Thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like 8awg will be the go.

As for the 240v invertor idea, what sort of current does that draw through the 12v cabling? Could you run a 240v bar-fridge? Or would it be limited to just the missus hair dryer :D

Dual battery - cable rating?

Hi guys. Just fitting a second battery onto my 92 Patrol. Main battery is a Marine Pro, the second one will be just a standard car battery as I only intend to run a few accesories off it - never use for emergency start or winching etc. My question is, what size (rating) cable do I need to run from ...
