Install of Redarc BCDC 1220

[admin]

Over the last few days ive been working on installing the BCDC 1220 into my new patrol after taking it out of my previous Patrol.

The install was a pain in the arse as I first had to remove an old Pirhana Dual battery system (which was a basic isolator rather than sofistocated DC-DC charger like the redarc).

After removing the pirhana I had to mount the redarc and then re mount an existing fuse box. I ended up using a piece of angle aluminium and stainless steel bots/nuts to hold it in place.

The fuse block has heavy guage wire soldered to each fuse terminal and I covered the whole lot with flexible conduit to insulate it and hot then glued it into place.

Here are the pics:

That's the vacuum reserve canister

Spot on. For the clutch. The brake has its reserve canister built into it. Can be moved anywhere. Really. Mine will be moved from 1/4 pannel to fire wall when I put the snorkel on..

Ah so that's what it is. It would explain the venting air when I took the hoses off. :-)

Are you trying to save money by using short bolts?

Those nylocks are not really doing anything the way they are. Is the blue stuff loktite?
