G'day Brains Trust
I have removed the rear seats from my NW, and plastic lining, as I am looking to setup a dual batt in this space, plus I might consider mounting a decent bottle jack (not the OEM one shown below), and other bits n pieces as they come to mind.
Current 'boot' image below (yeah ... it needs a vacuum )
I have bought a 130Ahr AGM battery, IDC25 charger, and 6-blade fuse box for immediate mounting. Haven't as yet bought a battery box, but that might also be on the cards if it makes things easier or safer.
I was thinking about fixing a sheet of 9mm ply to the base of the seat-well, and covering with autocarpet (and underlay) to make it look a bit nicer and also to reduce any road noise. I can then affix gear directly to the ply (through the carpet) as I go.
Firstly, thoughts on this as an idea?
Secondly, if that all sounds OK, then have you any advice for affixing the ply to the base of the seat-well?
I'm *really* nervous about drilling through the base of the vehicle ... ie water and stuff ...
Looking for a seasoned pro to either talk me into or out of it, and give me a few pointers!
Thanks in advance folks.
