Cheers Legend’s, you’re all as wacky as I am
Struggling to locate my old school metal G welding clamps, spoiled myself on the way home and bought some long wanted C Visey grips:
I’m far from a steel fabricator but this wacky method of mocking up pipe work with tape then tack welding through small tape cut holes N/S/E/W might actually work

Looking good Mark. I had my staino 4" powder coated, came up really good if you want the black look

Started and completed a pivot bracket for the Codan HF. Allows transport position at 30 deg tilt so it does not get clobbered from trees and branches, then undo 3 bolts and stand it upright with the antenna sections. Required a complicated 40mm RHS frame built and 6mm plate to anchor it to the POD frame and all clamped up with a greased turn plate, happy with the results, just needs the 3 tapped holes at 30 deg to complete.IMG_1913.jpgIMG_1915.jpgIMG_1911.jpg
Loving the strip lights I got from a forum vendor, Ledlightcompany.com.au. They are so bright and draw nothing, has the added feature of white and yellow, white only or yellow only. Highly recommend them. Talk to Paul, great guy.

Not my patrol, not even a Nissan.
Helped my son install a 2" lift in his Colorado today. Was good spinning spanners, talking shit and having a couple old beverages with him..

4.5lt Gas blower. Lots of mods to come.....all in good time.
Bit more progress, chest infection, again, holding me back, but baby steps get the job done. Finished the pivot mount for the big antenna, then trial fitted the new TRED boxes, ordered another 65L unit, plenty of flexibility, have the rear seat frame platform mod in reserve as well.
