Carpet was already on mine, but bunnings do it for about $37 for 1m x 2m. Prob need about 2m x 2m. Then just use some contact adhesive to glue it on. Are you familiar with how to use contact adhesive?

Not yet... If there's a picture of me glued to my ute.... Well, I hope there's a solvent that cancels it out. Will have to have a look around.

Ok, well at bunnings buy the Sika brand, it's a yellow container. It's good! Get an old paintbrush. Basically paint it onto the surface the carpet is going onto, then paint the back of the carpet. WAIT (important to do this) til they are no longer tacky, then put the two together and it sticks like s**t to a blanket! Make sure u smooth it out as you go as you won't easily get it back up again if you have bubbles! Worth doing a small practice run first on some off cuts or rubbish!!! Easy once you know how it all works!

I drilled the liner holes bigger than the tub holes, nutsert gun fits. The one that's stuffed up spins in one place, got to drill it out and re do it!

Mate I know what you mean pulling them out and then putting them back, I'm nearly 95% done on my drawers. I don't know about you but my labour costs alone would have paid for a shop bought set :D But Im intergrating the second battery and fridge slide with anderson and cig plugs as well and you can't buy ones that fit my needs. Keep it up looks the goods.

How did you go about drilling the holes in the tub liner, without damaging the tub itself? I'm about to do this in the next week or so. My intention is to access the existing points in the tub, so don't want to drill right the way through

You can lift the liner up to drill it. Lift it, stick a brick or something in to hold it up, then drill away. Best to mark it first I guess.

As CD said^^^

I drilled straight through the whole lot, then lifted the liner and over sized the wholes in the liner. I recommend over sizing them a little so as you can easy locate the screws you are after when you do it. Also as cd said, mark out the holes on the liner before drilling!

Okay - yeah I can't do that as the way they mounted my ARB canopy over the top and around the tailgate basically means I can only lift it at the tailgate about a max of 1cm....

Might have to try a Dremel type tool perhaps, rather than a drill and drill bit

Maybe use a hole saw and just go real steady?

Re: Dan.Batto's Build

Postby dan.batto on Fri Aug 17, 2012 3:43 pm

So I am looking at doing a small mod to my reverse camera:
Here is a "wiring diagram" of what I currently have. I'm a chippy not a sparky it's the best I could draw :lol: :lol:

Click to view larger picture

Now what I want to do:
Basically all I want to be able to do is turn the camera on whenever I want by flicking a switch. What I think I need to do is somehow run a positive wire to the camera with a relay or something like that in there. What currently happens (like most reverse cameras) is that when you put it in reverse the lights come on which then powers the camera and then turns the screen on. I have the reverse led's I added also connected to the same point.

From my understanding is I need a relay after the reverse lights I added, so as that when I flick a switch wired positively it doesn't turn the reverse lights on also???

Anyone got some insight to this and am I making a small easy job technical? :lol:

Thanks!!

I would just install a diode inline with the wiring going to the camera, thus will stop the current flowing backwards allowing you to add a switch without pushing power back to the lights

No point over complicating it, haha, same theory works for solar panels
