Re: Solar panels fitting kit
Unfortunately not they attach to the gutter rails, thinking of trying to fabricate a bracket of some sort. The panels I have look smaller than yours and has a controller which tells me what condition the battery is in and shuts off the supply to prevent overcharging. Luckily my friend is an electric...

Re: Solar panels fitting kit
I'm using 200w because I will be going off grid for a long time and I'd rather have more than I need especially in the darker months. I'm using it as a race van so lots of heavy draw items. I was asking for others opinions on fixing not what I'm using it for.

Solar panels fitting kit

Has anyone bonded them using silkaflex or similar or perhaps screwed them directly into the roof then sea...

Re: Roof bars
Thanks I hadn't actually thought of that was trying to think of a secure way without drilling into the roof. Perhaps I should start a different thread asking opinions and what's been done previously. I have messaged the member who supplies the kits on here but haven't had a response.

Re: Intro and speaker advice
Thankyou for the reply, the sub I've seen is pre amped and the head unit is reasonably powerful so I'm hoping to only need the front and rear speakers I'll be removing the door cards towards the end of the week to have a good look. So the speakers fit without fouling the window mechanism they and th...
