Did some work on the interior today, trying to reuse the Durham boxes we had in the 750.
I sorely underestimated how strong the box carcass is...after I got it hung it was twisting with just it's own weight...think for simplicities sake I will use a piece of Maple plywood on the end as an upright.
No press brake?...no problem
I didn't like the AL rivet, bottom right, so did the rest in steel.
After the sagging, I used some backing underneath the cabinet and some on the shelf side...decided to save time and buy a couple of premade shelf brackets...seems 90 degrees in NA ain't 90 degrees in the China plant..
Dicked around with the idea of making a gable for the end for support...easiest thing will be to simply order another shelf end.
Won't see it for a couple of weeks so I cut a 2x2 and wedged it in...should be ok for now.
Found out what they gave me for the extra fuse panel/upfitter wiring....not bad at all, there are 3 seperate fused connections outside the battery box...each with a stud and fused at 60A.
Batteries are under the drivers seat and are AGM's.
Access is pretty good with the seat fully forward.
Plan will be to get a couple of ATC fuse blocks and run #6 welding cable to them.
That will then feed the battery chargers, Espar heater and extra interior lighting.
I might just pull the third wire up there for a future inverter or something...that 60A would power a 500 watt inverter with no issues.
Identical...also the brake contoller is the same way to the left of it.
I got them mainly for adding aux. lights...but even though they are not HID projectors, the stock lights work very well.
I might experiment using high power LED replacement lamps as they have them now..not cheap, around $100 per bulb...but cheaper and less screwing around adding lights.
The transit looks like it's pieced together from the rest of fords offerings... Seems to borrow heavily from the trucks obviously but the steering wheel and dash looks very explorer/flex/edge to me. Efficient I guess!
