(Preview)

6 Gang touch screen upgrade
(Preview)
I would like to retrofit to this touchscreen. The principle behind it is simple enough - power in and then out to each device. But the problem lies in hooking up the existing 12V circuits.

Drawbar A-frame
(Preview)
So I want to get the centre mount jockey wheel. My A-frame does not have the cross-section on it. So it would be okay if I took it in to get welded in? The only other issue would be to reroute the handbrake cables as they currently first run down the centre and then out to the sides. TIA
