Hi all, Made these last night and Im very pleased with them

A bummer with the crack (no pun intended :shock: ).

Seats look spot on to me - a good job well done

Bench seat is very clever, do you intend to have seat belts?

[sallyandsean]

Dont thinks so!

 

[gninnam]

Which port of your charging system will the battery be for - if it is to replace your normal starter battery then it not being a deep cycle battery will be OK - if it is to be used as a sconed battery for leisure then it really needs to be a deep cycle battery.

Just trying to understand what it is for and you get the right one for the job (only helping honest )
