The bendable hose through the hood compartment and up through the cup holder looks like the way to go. Interested to see how it turns out from there.

Messed around a little last night with how to make a battery holder downer, I have some of these connectors that are used to hold body panels on pretty much just insert and a half twist an it locks the connector. I just cut a slight hole for it to slide into the back side of the plastic a couple O rivets. The metal brace was just pieces of metal left over from a different project I will prob bend it all on piece instead of the welds later but overall for a prototype works well so far.

Nice use of Dzus fasteners!

 

[Hometeam]

Great idea on the battery fastener! I have the same battery and was just looking at it last night trying to decide how to secure it.

 

[joeymt33]

I did something similar. Only bolted on one side though. The other side is stuck thru a slot.

Looks real good!

Got a parking brake done tonight temporarily but it will work. Explanation when I'm not at shop to come.

Line locker, nice. Whats the amp draw with those?

 

[Kilo427]

Less than 1 amp it's not a long term solution you could do the same with a manual lock but you would need to run the lines up to dash, which I may do. But then again I don't really trailer the rig many places. I am going to use this switch with a lock for the time being and see how it works.

CONTURA V, LOCKING ROCKER WITH SINGLE DAYLIGHT BRIGHT RED LED, LOWER INDEPENDENT LED ONLY

And no I don't plan on keeping those crappy compression fittings I did order the correct lines just hard to find a 1/8 npt to 10mm brake line adapter around here so it's just kinda of a test.

 

[CashMoney]

I'm lucky, summit racing is a block away from my shop. I'm thinking about doing an electric line lock too, I just know though I'd forget and leave it on. Glad to see you're trying it.

 

[JTW]

That's slick!

 

[Hondasxs]

Nice.. Need to paint the ring the same green.

Haven't been to sleep yet but I finally got wiring all tucked away, radio finished, switch panel done. Those mini 4200 Phoenix make wiring fairly easy some of the switches are hooked to a relay in that sealed fuse box depending on voltage. Got a red dome light wired up as well.

Also finished running all vent hoses and took off the bellows so as not to blow a seal. Although I didn't take the bellows off the fan not sure that really matter on that line.

Next up: tear it completely apart remove heat and Sound shielding that I Fabricated and replace IGR gears. I just hope A arms come in before go time I really want these damn tires to stop mocking me

Kicking ass. Funny about those wheels ya no s*** I'd want them on too they look good!

 

[ohanacreek]

I looked at the Full size Feniex 4200 but I already had all the switches from my 700. I REALLY liked the 4200 minis but since I already had 200$ in switches It was hard to justify them.

 

[elkguide]

Those switches really do make it!!!!

Creativity can be fun...... or maybe funny!
