Hoses arrived today. I literally have everything needed to finish the suspension now.  20190220_113307_resized.jpg   71.84K   1 downloads

Looking forward to seeing this done, and a video of it in action

This is looking pretty serious !

 

Just one small thing I'd like to pass on regarding having batteries in parallel, like what it seems you need to do here. I've found that the batteries, being what they are, are never 100% matched, so the 'lesser' batteries will always be draining the 'better' ones. In action, they'll all work fine together, but, if let idle for a period, you might find they will have drained down to the point where the batteries are kaput and won't take a charge. Just something to be mindful of if you park it up for a while is to either fit a quality trickle charger or disconnect one side of the parallel links.

It's funny you have said this. I was only today looking at battery layouts. I had decided to run them parallel but perhaps link them end to end to equalize, so they all drain equally. They will always be plugged in to my ctek msx 5.0 charger when not in use.

I have complete faith !!

Seeing how far you have come with this whole project and in the time frame you have, you're definitely on a mission here.

 

And, I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

Does anyone know where I can get some galvanised cable guard from for a 15mm hose? The type that covers cable at the side of telegraph poles. As I'm running 2 lengths of hydraulic pipe externally underneath, I wanted to protect them.

..telegraph poles ?

..telegraph poles ?  

Yes. As in the picture

The one in the pic is plastic, it's not the sort of thing you can just buy unless your BT lol.

Hence why I'm asking!! I can easily buy a bt sized galvanised one. Just asking for any help or ideas. The picture was for an example of the shape required. Don't want a flat type you get from screwfix
