Looks much better mate, your gonna have to slow down or by the end of the 6 weeks yours gonna be out polishing the canopy every morning

Done some more tidy up to the wiring.
Roughed in and finished the solar panel wiring over the last few days. Its been fun trying to balance on step ladders whilst using crutches.
Used some alloy jiffy boxes from Jaycar and some gland nuts to make sure there is a waterproof seal from the outside roof to the internal roof of the canopy.



Internal Jiffy box with termination from the solar panel to internal wiring which runs along one of the strengthening braces along roof of canopy.Bit of room here to add some more circuits in. Thinking of running an Anderson plug with the provision to plug in another solar panel.


Had a few bits an pieces left over so I decided to put an ammeter with an isolator for the solar panel to measure input current.


Had to make a special spanner to get to the back of a few of the nuts on the fasteners in the roof.

Sit down!!

X2 or you will end up like wazza aswell

Well...
I can't sit still sorry.....
Needed to fab up a bracket to hold the 175A Anderson plug.

I call unfair, not only do you have a shed equipped with what the average man would trade their left nut for but now you have all the time in the world to work on your build. Unfair advantage I say.

all the gear and no idea!

I hope thats not straino and no cutting compound I used to love when i had full access to a machine shop. Now i only have access to a lathe that runs 4 thou off centre and runs like a chaff cutter So whats on the list after the anderson plug?

Top work man. Love it. There's not one pic of the whole setup getting dirty but. Or is that in a trip thread?

And this bracket will be chopped out.

More updates soon.
