I've been busy (A bar now finished too)

(1/5) > >>

Jake:
I finished my twin batterys at the weekend  \:D/
I now have battery clamps securing them into place
No more ratchet straps  :shock:
Easy to make too
I cut a piece of 1" wide bar and drilled 2 holes in it, got some bar with long threads on and bent a hook on one end (to catch the body work like the original ones do) and then, after a coat of paint, just did up the nuts (oh er)
Looks great and my batterys are now not going anywhere without my permission  8)


I have also started on my next modification
I've got my hands on one of these bull bars (if fact, it came from this car)

and i'm modifieing it to become an A bar
Today I cut of the light surrounds and sanded back the metal to smooth


Now i face a tough choice...
Do i get it shot blasted and powder coated at a cost of around £30 or do i paint it with Smoothrite or something like? :D

L90OOK:
Jake...shot blast & repowdercoat or Simon wont let you park at work  :wink:  :lol:
Nice batteries & well fitted.
Just a thought you might want to fit some caps over the +'ve terminals :D

Mr Alford:
how have you wired this one?

i have done a twin battery conversion i have connected them both seprately to my altenator so they are on two seperate circuits i have some lights and my cigarette lighter working off the second but i will also be running my winch off it when i purchase it so i can use it when the car is off and if it did go dead id still be able to start the thing i dont know if you feel this is a good idea or not?

Evilgoat:
Guess I wont be fitting them bullbars anytime soon then :S

I took a live from the original battery and ran it through an ignition switched contactor.
This allows both batterys to be connected and charging when the ignition is on but they become stand alone when the ignition is off
