Finished upgrading the Sat Dish set up, the front mount had undergone a few mods over time and was looking a bit daggy and since I had fitted a jockey wheel bracket it would wobble, so out with the cutting disc and cut it all off, made up a new mount and stuck it to the gas bottles cross bar at the front ... originally I had the cables plugging in on the side of the van near the wheels so it would give me a large area to put the dish, since then I have left the stand at home, fitted a mount to front and rear, nowadays I mostly just use the front mount as it has a 360 view unless the odd tree is in the way ........... so the van side connection was extended to a nice bracket at draw bar, save having a long cable for critters to use as a highway, did have plans to just fit a T piece to the cables so I could still connect up if I used the rear mount but I should have known that it wouldn't work unless I used a proper splitter ...
I wonder when I will be able to test out the latest round of mods, new seating, heat reflective paint, new Sat Dish cabling, at least the cabling I know works as one of my Tip special dishes is on the shed for keeping the Vast system current................ Weather grounding the Boat and Van for the time being............
Still have to go for a drive around the block or to Rainbow with van and give the brakes a good drag to cook them in, too many tourists here ATM to get in the way... really need a big hill so I can use van brakes on the way down to cook them in properly, used to use the Toowoomba Range, by the time I got to bottom they would be smoking and cooled down and working well by the time I got home....... .....................
