Project X - Water/Meth Install!
Hi Guys,
Righty this will be a work log hopefully
Feel free to chime in with ideas/suggestions
Proposed Mounting position:
Fabricated bracket:
This is 4mm 5005 aluminium. I could have gone for 3mm or maybe even 2 mm, it doesn't flex at all...
Gauge Mounting/Setup:
Cheers
D.

Any idea of the weight that will be placed on the board?
If you can get a weight figure, and approx G-forces then you can calculate the flex.
If it were me, i'd screw 2-3 thin cuts of particle board ~5cm wide, just under the width of the board onto the rear of it to give it strength.

weight will be:
possibly 2x 5QT tank - 12kg total
1 pump - 3kg total
So I reckon 15kg total.
Normally driving you would not exceed 1G, however in an accident you might go WAY above that.
Yeah I see what you mean, if you can have something coming up from the bottom that will help brace it
I have contacted a local aluminum fabber, i will see what he thinks too!

ok guys I need some advice:
USP 6QT = 41 cm high
USP 5QT = 35 cm high
Vertical space in the boot is about 47cm
Concerning refills do you think going the 5QT is best? Obviously I will still need a LONG hose..
Or do you think go for 6QT given that I have to use a hose anyways..
I was going to go for 2 tanks side-by-side anyways, so its either 10QT or 12QT total...
