Battery and Air cleaner

Now that’s done, before I look at wiring, it’s time to do the replacement Air cleaner.. I managed to source one from a Surf (seems they’re actually called 4runner’s over here, no wonder I’ve had so much trouble!) which came with dual-battery stock, so it’s perfect for the job.. Used one of the existing bolt holes, there’s a flat section on the wheel arch to drill a second bolt hole, and then I just had to make a small z-bracket to do the third mounting point:

Now I need to look at doing the wiring – which shall be a big task 🙂
