What did you buy today

For the sake of keeping it legal Im not convinced using a 3" dump without a cat would be noticable
after all its only a 3ltr

It's not. Nuff said

I doubt there is any measurable power difference with or without a 200 cell cat. I've spent a bit of money on the GVM Upgrade to ensure I'm legal loaded up, so a couple of hundred on a cat to keep the legal theme going on this build is chicken feed really.

Went to auto8 and got another 10 pack of Anderson plugs , only $29 on spec which is the cheapest in this town .
Now to set up the solar systems on camper and GQ so they play nice together or don't mind being separated .
Will take pics and let you know how I end up doing it if anyone is interested .

Not today but on Sunday I bought a Rivnut Kit and some 10mm eye bolts was going to install various rivnuts in my tray and move the eye bolts around as tie down points depending on what I have on the tray. Sick of all my gear sliding around when I'm on rough tracks. Kit does up to 10mm thread

That's awesome, well done GUBF !! Never knew Kingchrome made em, gonna have to get one of them if you don't mind me asking how much $ mate? We've been using elcheapo home made nut&bolt versions onsite as we could only afford one of the pneumatic factory line ones @ $2.5k :-(
When using Rivnuts/Nutserts for tray mount eyebolts I would like to recommend adding an extra topside backing nut to the eyebolt as the Riv/Serts are very soft and need help with lateral force if that makes sense mate?

That was $138 at Bunnings (https://www.bunnings.com.au/kincrome...t-kit_p5910346) and I think Toolmart over here had them for $145 but pretty sure Toolmart is a WA business. They must have just released it as I was looking at one about 12 months ago from Eclipse but that was closer to or over $200 from memory.

So eyebolt then a nut with the correct thread before going into the nutsert? I will have to see as the eyebolts screw in all the way but a nut may not have them grab enough thread, unless I have what your saying wrong.

Should've added, when we do need to remove one due to found maintenance torque slippage it's as easy as a long bolt inserted and heaved in circular motions and or nip off the topside sert lip and the guts of it fall inside/down. They are great things, just please don't rely on them for big sideways loads folks :-)

Sorry mate, typing same time, takes me ages:-)
Correct you are, and Cheers heaps for the links, legend :-)

Been lucky enoung to be using rivnuts from the late 70's seeing
most my mates work at the Airport.
As for removing eye bolts is it possible to install some tiedown track
then you can "click in" an eye bolt where ever you want
