Thank you evero much fellas. I really appreciate the comments!
I have been busy in the garage with lots of things going on at the same time. But to get up to date, let's carry on with the Stereo install. I have to say it's a work in progress and by no means finished. There has been a lot to learn.
A lot of measuring with this one. Measure twice and cut once!
The firewall was the obvious place to put everything as there isn't much room in the cabin. The firewall isn't even all the way down so I have had to machine some threaded stand off's to get the mounting plate parallel.
The next image show how I am going to conceal the amp and crossovers.
You just press the centre of the button and they pop off.
So I went back to my woodworking routes and started to put together the cover. This will be trimmed after.
Lots of drilling and tapping threads to fit everything.
Taking shape. Lots of cabling to bring through from the cabin. I used a clean line from the battery to the fuseboard. This should cut down on interference noise.
The realys are for spot lights and a spare for anything else I want to install.
The eagle eyed of you will see that I did not use my old amplifier. I wnr for a new one with pre outs to fit a driven base box to go in the passenger foot well.
Just seemed an easier option.
Shown here are the relay for spot lights plus a spare and a set of 'Switched Lives' if needed along with tsome earths.
So with the main infrastucture sorted I could get back to fitting the petrol tank. I will revisit the stereo once i'm a bit further on with other stuff.
I will sign off now....
