    All the colours can be positive mate. Use your multi core black as earth. All colours positive but allows you to run your switching looms with fuses and logic. If you need 2 runs of it then you have 14 wires, all positive, but only 2 of any colour. Just label the outer sheath as run 1 and run2 or a piece of tape around the end of one mate.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    What did you do to your Patrol today!

    Made up some rubber cover thingos to cover up the gap between the inner wheel arch and chassis on the rear. Looks like there was supposed to be something there but nothing shows OEM in the parts program.

    IMG_2146.jpg

    I also cut out some black corflute and tucked it in the small rear bard door window frame to keep the sun off the fridge. I have done both left and right windows with this stuff too.
    Works well it does. I might even do the large barn too in the future...

    And then gave the old GUrl a sponge bath in preparation for our trip.

    I've used the corflute stuff taped onto the rear window of our Patrol's canopy as a means of protecting it from stone damage when towing off road. It's good stuff. Have also used it underneath our fridges, sitting on the fridge slides, just for an additional bit of insulation. Our's is white on the side that shows & with pictures of Patrick Dodson on the side that doesn't. We were in Broome at the time of the last election!

    Thanks again Darren, that make sense, incredible how I cant join the dots at times. I think the cables as run will more or less remain, however a few, quite a few will be shortened and run in a more regulated fashion instead of spaghetti like. Tidied up with some corrugated hose and should come out ok. The runs to the back of the car are being rationalised - I am finding heaps of loose tails simply chopped off - bloody disgrace to be honest. I will give you a shout if I crap out for sure..
    When is that shed going up by the way? The concrete will at least be well onto the way to 100% cure by then I guess.

    Thats a really smart looking rig Mark, have a safe trip, hopefully free of too much 'steam'. I might try the corflute on mine also to shade the fridge - good simple idea. I have also closed up the rear wheel well with rubberm, but more to hide the belly tank fill pipe, can hardly tell it is there, need to do the other side next.

    Thanks Phil.

    Yeah she'll boil over without a doubt. Unless the weather decides to cool down. But Im out of ideas on the hows and why's of the kettle so I just drive it now.

    I just need to figure out why the light bar has decided to constantly blow fuses now. Never did for 4 years. Now it will blow a fuse within minutes.

    I spent the morning mounting the interchiller surge tank and pump, Final solution was simple enough but getting there was a pain. I will post the photos tomorrow - car back in the garage, was heading over to pay @MB a visit but the pool won out in the end - its a bit warm right now in Melb SE. Resuming with the wiring in the morning. On the hunt for the elusive a/c compressor clutch supply cable - seems to have evaporated under the bonnet - very annoying - hope it didn't get 'purged' last week.

    Get some Devcon steel putty. Fill that tiny pit in and sand it back and you wont even know its there. Or. Install a speedie sleeve and all you'll need to do it drill a hole where the air port is in the journal.

    Cheers Mark Mate!
    PeeBee Legend has kindly brought some 1/4” NPT taps around this morning for airline housing work and we’ve assessed that previous MB idiot damage will hopefully be ok with a wee bit more linishing dodgey hills shed style.
    Off Forum too Mr Daz Legend and I kindly also discussed a worst case scenario of it simply running the compressor more often and or if a complete blowout back to a single spinner diff same same as her current OEM front differential.
