Don't laugh too hard. My grand father invented built and patented an upside down car servicing rig. Obviously it didn't take off too well though as I haven't seen any of them round in my lifetime....

Top install Flemj. Great place for the power, especially when stopped in the campsite. Easy plug in.
For Cbates have a look at Jaycar www.jaycar.com.au or other similar electronics project...
I still think the best option (depending on the type of antenna) is a drill and screw. If it is a standard 5/16th screw on whip type antenna drill straight through and put a split pin in there, if...
It could also be the relay on it's way out. Relays are known to flash faster than normal when they are about to give up and die.
I can't believe I was watching Top Gear the other night on their African Adventure to find the source of the Nile. They floated the cars across a river on something their production people had built...
Berrima Diesel used to have a brochure that was basically entitled you're car is never too old to have a turbo. Might be worthwhile getting them on the phone and having a chat to them about WHY. ...
If this net was really any good it would meet Australian Design Rules and have a label on it certifying it and it would list it on the web site. The only thing I would use this for is throwing over...
The old rule for lights (and keep in mind I have been out of Australia for 6 years) was:
Fog lights must be mounted low (no higher than the headlights) and MUST be switched through the parking...
There was some talk a while ago about Telstra creating a network short cut so 911 would divert to 000 but I don't think it ever happened. Essentiall though if you in Australia just remember 000 from...
If I'm correct I believe this is an old Tandy (remember them - You've got questions, we've got blank stares) 12 volt powered clock and indoor / out door thermometer. There may be a couple of other...
An important note to this is in NSW they brought in a rule (I don't know if it got thrown out again or if it went Australia wide) where a Triple Zero call that came in as a NO SIM call (i.e. via...
Icom's are a great radio. They are commercial and Mil Spec radios. Extremely hard wearing and really difficult to break. The GME's are a great radio, but they are made to consumer specifications. ...
When I had mine fitted to the GQ I had a set of Recaro seats fitted on top of the bases. KAB sold the base with an adapter for the GQ floor pan to bolt down, but of course it didn't fit, and also...
Sounds messy and a bit unsightly as well. Mounting them sideways would also mean the dial guage and the lock mechanism would be dwn the side and in a tight spot. As soon as I get home and pick up...
Correct. Manufactured in Sydney; so as well as supporting the Australian economy Service and Support is never far away.
I just thought of a further important safety issue that should be mandatory with all inverters. Get yourself an RCD (Residual Current Device). The best ones to buy for camping are like the ones...
I might be taking something a bit big on here, but not really sure yet.
I had KAB411 bases (driver and passenger) in my GQ Patrol a number of years ago and loved them. I tried to sell the bases...
All depends what you want to use it for really. There are two types of inverters essentially. Square wave (a manufactured wave) and sine wave (the same as what you get from your home power point...
I only recommend Iridium. Signal is great, n major droup outs generally. The conversation (or the system) utilises handover techniques (like mobile phones) where the conversation gets handed over...
I bought the GME interchangable antennas for my last car and they were great whilst standing still, but as soon as you got up to around 60 KM's an hour the spring in it wasn't substantial enough to...
I started with a number of Uniden CB's many years ago now and back in those days they had one particular failure point. The microphone lead ws too short and too stiff and regularly cracked either...
Excellent reading and well put together. Wherever do you find the time though? That's probably what makes the magazine even more marvelous.
I'm running the Security show for a the only shopping Mega Mall in Papua New Guinea. Had enough of that game though and currently in the process of relocating to a Business Development Manager for a...
Thanks all,
Looks like an extremely active and well informed forum community. I had a bit of a poke around the topics last night and was impressed with the knowledge flying around. I was also...
All these issues just sound like harmonic issues. Sometimes they can be avoided simply by moving one of the devices or something as simple as changing the channel on the radio. This will prove if...
