What did you do to your Patrol today!

Well it wasn't today but on the weekend I fitted a 3" zorst to the troll. Also cleaned out my Dawes valve as I don't have a catch can yet. Now I'm resetting up the needle and Dawes valves.

I bought a nutsert kit today to make under bonnet modifications so much easier and decided its first use would be to assist after I ripped out all the dodgy spotlight wiring that the previous owner had either installed or worse paid for. The switch wire join was just wrapped and taped, no solder.
I made up a little bracket and mounted two relay plugs for the spotlights and horn relays. In the past I've always just used spade terminals on relays but today is the beginning of a new ease of access and replacement era. (and it was a good opportunity to use the nutsert gun)

Wow that wheel bay looks awesome! I've been looking for something similar but one that would go on a roof rack

Nice work!

What nutsert kit did you get? It's something I've been considering for a while.

Yeah imagine how awesome it would be to have a matching canvas bag for your roof racks...... Especially one so good looking

I'm also interested in which nutsert kit you went? Been looking at them for a while myself.

Wishful thinking lol

I'll have a look when I get home. Had a look at a few cheaper kits but decided to go for a better quality one that will handle 6mm steel nutserts

Its Marson brand and cost $145 which includes a selection of M4, M5 and M6 steel nut. I was looking at a cheaper brand for $99 and it was only rated for M6 aluminum nuts and didn't come with any so the extra $46 was well worth it.
