Nice rig VS, certainly have used about every spare space for accessories.

Is there any capacity left for passengers within the GVM limit? :lol:

More seriously, I like the idea of relocating the near useless info display.

Just a heads up Bendix be it shoes or pads are Now Chinese made. We get more comebacks with Bendix that the imported RDA Extreme pads. With Bendix pads if the part number is printed on back there Aust or Asian. If it's written on bottom or top of pad it's Chinese. There no longer the big Australian has they would have you believe.
