    Yes, I just wanted them over the axle. Together they weigh 65kg so I really wanted the centralised. There will be a cover which goes over all the batteries and water filter to protect them.

    Why surprised? I can't see what difference it makes.

    I thought that you might have made the easier to access. Maybe a panel on the side or even underneath. Given the weight if you need to move one it would be a back breaker. I know batteries should be a set and forget thing, especially AGM's, just didn't seem ergonomic and must have taken some pushing to get them in there.

    No, they go in very easily.

    I have tried to keep panels and hatches to minimum because whenever you cut a hole you have a chance of getting dust in.

    Good point, didn't think of that. Did you sort out the hatch closures you were looking for?

    Yes, I ended up getting some like this :



    I just hope the ones I got are OK. They are stainless steel and look ok but not sure about it all.

    I found this guy not far from me that specialises in truck fittings. When I went round to get them it was just a little Chinese fella in a tiny factory with hundreds of boxes of fittings.....and the locks were only $15 each for SS

    As long as the exert sufficient pressure I don't see why they should be OK. At least at that price they haven't cost you too much if they aren't 100% suitable.

    I just re-read my last post. What the hell was I typing? Meant to say don't see why they shouldn't be OK
