Day #02.5 - the spare wheel bracket
sggsg

as it happens i didnt even need this, but we fitted it anyway.








but when we put the spare wheel back in it was loose and almost fell out.


so we had to take up the slack.

re drilling new holes. . .






and even that was too loose,






gave up in the end. . . for the standard wheel we had, even with the new RIB bracket we didnt need the spacer plate.

That was enough of that so we move on to the splashback and draws. . . .

all masked out, this is what i wanted..



cerbo screen, twin 240v CBE and twin 29mm USB chargers.



mark, drill, file - Bosh.




which gave us this. . .




+++

moving onto the draws, i OSMO`d all the bare wood ends. .



and soon found out that we needed to backout the draws,

as they would either rub on the floor, or not engage with the locking catch. . . 1mm spacers were needed, at the fronts.





adding both draws, , , ,






next up inverter fitting.

we opened it up to get to the 4x rear mounting holes.




then cut out the OEM side fibre panels and drilled in so PLY wood to act as a base to screw this super heavy inverter too.

the ply had a few good fixings.






and the shelf fitted with 2mm clearance - result.






next up was a wedding. . . . so the build got put on hold again.
