24v hooked up and working yet?
Well she has been parked up for a little whole now and I am finally getting some time to start on the 24v conversion. Stripped both batteries out and going to use the 2 full river Gel batteries inside the car behind he passenger seat as the 24v bank and last weekend picked up a marine battery from autopro when they had 25% off batteries. Score! That is going in under the bonnet and removing the second battery there.
Everything has to be desired and ran to the single battery now so a bit of work there.
While it's co out and apart I am trying to sort out the collapsed inner guards which have split and fractured. Very common on the GQ and everyone should have a look.
Check out some pics of the splits and tears

I have already jacked the inner guard back into position before I took the pics I thought I grabbed some other pics the other day but oh well. Here is a couple of better ones

Yeah it's very common in GQs, its from the weight of the battery sitting on the inner guard. I AMA fan of running an over strap across the top of the battery to the side to help take the weight.
The pic makes the splits not look bad but I had already jacked the inner guard up using the jack on the spring tower ready for welding, I probably jacked it 15to 20mm.
Everyone should have a good look at their inner guards. This is very common.
Twin battery tray made and installed. Stoked!

Zach gave me a hand to bolt it through the floor.

What are those Trekker slicks you run Darren?
So finally got a little time under the bonnet of the GQ today. I have been avoiding it but bit the bullet and got a bit done.
Finally had a go at bolting up the second Alternator for 24v. The alternator was Slightly different to the 12v that Winnie had and the bracket need some modification to make it fit.
A little swearing and a few test fits and a grinder here and heat gun there, some love from a sledge hammer and here we go
