I know - just would of been quick and easy.

Rigged the car PC up roughly yesterday, need to get the 2nd battery in. Not as simple as a D3 install unfortunately. Thought the Optima would sit next to the main battery. Luckily I've got 3 Yellow Tops at the moment. Need to get a battery tray I suppose. My Disco 'best bits'

Thumbs Up , I'll have a looky later. I take it this cover is in the Pick up, the black one that would have been a speaker housing if it were a SW?

behind is a T-shaped connector like the one above, normal male spade connectors should fit IIRC.

Job done Thumbs Up , I've added 2 Waterproof Sockets and 2 LED Rocker Switches (temporary), I've ordered 2 waterproof switches to replace them when they arrive.

Great cheap Modification, Now the Engel has somewhere to be powered.
