I was going to see a mate of mine, and get a joiner put in at the back of the box, and do a real good job
you know, cut the Copper Hose put a flare on the end, put a joiner through the box, another flare on the other end of the hose, then up to the regulator.
instead, he said, just drill a hole and mount it, and I will check it
which he did today - passed with flying colours.............
happy happy happy

My inspector (Mr Soapy Waters) passed my installation also with flying colours
I have been at it again on Gumtree...........
as you know, I have invested heavily over the years in the Polaris reversing Camera system.
started with the CM60 (I think its called) basic 1 camera & 5" monitor
then I found a black Caravan Camera and 9 miles of cable and a 7" monitor
then I brought the Wazza kit
and it was missing 1 special cable, so I had to hunt that down
then today, I have brought MORE bits (need to work out the wiring first before I can fit)
its 2nd had, but what I wanted
Polaris Car Audio System.
Radio/DVD player,
Navigation
Bluetooth hands free
SD card slot
I-pod
Touch Screen
takes 2 x Reverse cameras
now the headache begins.................

well, on closer inspection of what I did get V's what should be there.........
MISSING
plus some of the wiring was butchered.......
he said "oh no, its just plug and play"
have to workout what wiring is missing, and what I have already
then maybe get it fitted in time for Xmas...........

hard task master aint you
the lic's are above - not fitted yet
I did do the Wazza cabling before in June...... I thought I took photo's of that........
As much as I would like to upgrade to an all singing, all dancing system the memories of installing stuff in dashboards or fixing bits is still strong, it's the stuff of nightmares. The old brown paper and rubber band wireless will have to do.
I am hoping it wont be THAT painful @Drover
yes it will be a head ache
yes there IS bits missing - still trying to sort what I need to buy to make it work
but, if I can get rid of the 7" monitor thats mounted on the console, and the 5" Navmole mounted on top of the dash - then I will be on a winner I hope........ less distractions on and around the driver
over the last 5years, I think I have sunk well over $2K in bits and bobs and mod's to the Polaris system I have
factor in buying a new - say Kenwood with the lot, then buying new Camera's and cables - and I will be well over that amount again.........
main problem will be -
if I have to rip out the existing wiring I fitted for the system in there, or if I can use that.
to rip out - I have to strip the whole interior, front & rear seats, Cargo barrier, false floor, interior side panels to get at it
not looking forward to that one
wish me luck................
All I can say @bigcol is Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhh, I would end up with some Redheads for sure.........I wish you lots of luck and keep a tight hold on your sanity........................:happy:..................Don't forget it didn't happen if there's no pics......

the biggest wish is that I DONT have to take the existing wiring
once I get my head around the wiring, and whats needed, I will be doing Pic's as I go with the fitting
(just incase I need to fix something later one )
still looking for all the bits and Bobs I have laying around - before I start
