Stellaghost Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Said rubber cover and battery clamping device that will stop it moving, actual battery box only has around 3mm clearance all round, possibly made it a tad too tight I have to remove battery clamps off cables and push cables back through to get battery out, bit of an oversight. Not too onerous as I have to remove seat to get to battery anyway... Regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 A bit more progress, seat mounting points drilled out and seats fitted Snorkel top fitted And side and headlights wired up, also stop solenoid struggling a bit with the indicators at the moment but I'll get there regards Stephen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanco Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Great idea,... I did similar on the 110 and for D2 I put it in the front grill, saved opening the bonnet, removing the battery cover etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
