Rockets Wagon

[Rocket55]

Ok, a bit of an update to the wagon, been a bit slow of late.

First off I picked up a second hand roof rack and basket (Thanks Nic ). This will come in mighty handy when getting out and about with the extended family.





This allowed me to get an awning, pretty happy with this one 2.5 x 3m ($198 delivered ) It's great.







Next on the list was to get some more lights going. The rack had an old set of lights on the front on some pretty good brackets, so these came off and got rubbed back, rust converted, primed and rust guarded in Satin Black. Came up good.



Then bolted some LEDs on there that were originally on the bulbar. They only sit about 10mm higher than the front of the basket, might bend them down a bit yet.





Now just to wire them up. I have a couple of Carling rocker switches coming to work the roof lights, reversing lights and some left and right side flood lights.

Got itchy feet this afternoon after a planned outing feel through, so took to the centre console with a Dremil and mounted my 2 volt meters.





Stupid bloody thin silver paint Nissan use, you can see where the UHF cord has rubbed the paint off . Something else to fix latter, might wrap it. I think they came up well. I've got a DPDT mini rocker switch coming so I can have them permanently On / Off / On with ignition for both the starter and 2nd battery. I need to get a relay and use an ignition wire to trigger the relay to bring in the 2nd batter for the ignition only display. Sounds like a job for next weekend.
