Well the evening are stretching out, so I thought I better have a project to keep me out of trouble at home in the evenings.

The bit's are arriving so I'm building them up as they come in.

Electronics coming together

Fed up of "Waterproof Switch Panels" letting me down, so this time they are going inside the console, isolators ready to take the twin batteries, the switch panel as curcuit breakers built in so no fuses.
