Not sure who SCA are but if you can get slotted rotors for that, snap them up. Bargain.

Mounted my solar panels... http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...015/11/200.jpg
Now i just have to hard wire them in. Anyone know of a 'good' cheap reliable mppt solar controller? Or am i better off getting a decent pwm?

Nice man. I won't be much help on that side. How much did it set u back? I was thinking of doing similar but under the racks.

The panels are 160w bit deals off ebay. To mount i simple bought 2 x 3m lengths of 30x30 3mm alloy angle from bunnings cut to length and then bolted to rhino bars. The alloy was about $30 per length. So all up it probably cost me $70-80 to mount.

They sit a few mm below the top of the bar. So i could still put stuff on top if i desired.

Nice sooty_10. I've thought about doing this for my rack but I'd put it under the mesh on a slide so i could pull it out the back or front when at camp. That way you still get the full use of the rack and still get a small trickle charge even under the mesh when not using it

Yeah i did think of using drawer rollers for it. But as I'm simply storing it there and will pull down when at camp for any length of time i couldn't be bothered trying to work it out 😆 Loosen 2 turn knobs and mine slides right out and can be set-up on the ground. (Padlocked for security too)

Bought a second hand rhino rack and put on. Not the prettiest bit of kit but should be strong, aerodynamic and functional.
