greetss

I plan to run as per JersyJimny in this thread:

www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/7-jimny...not-done-this-before

However, as I am only running 3 spots at a total of 17 amps load (I think) have ordered some low profile 20 amp dual core cable and if it fits wil just run it down the slot in the windscreen rubber rather than trunking.

All depends on the wire thickness when it turns up.

The brackets for the two outer spots are actually roof joist fixings. Nice and thick and only £2.25 each, so I stopped fabricating the one I started as was lazy ;)

I need to buy a new Fire Extinguisher though as mine has lost pressure and think I might get some of those rubber grip things for my breaker bar to sit on the inside of the back door.

I might make a fold down table for the back door too for making a cuppa out of the wind when laning etc.

That is in my to do list.....

just for those who don't know to calculate your amps:

Current = watts divided by volts

example 55 watts / 12 volts = 4.58A
