78: Tuesday 8th December 2009

As usual there were distractions, so didn't get much done. I drilled into the side of the cross brace and mounted the brackets for the top battery. With just 6mm nuts and bolts holding it together, it held the battery and I was able to reassure myself that there was a good 2 inches clear above the battery and about an inch clearance on the gearbox. I have proper plastic caps to go over the terminals, so all is well there. Oh and my welder came today, so I shall be keen to get the rest of this made up with nuts and bolts so I can start welding it all together. Then I will be able to see it with the two front batteries in too.
