Francesca, did you simply saw out the hole and use the sawn out rectangle as the door? I'd like to do this on the driver side, so we can get in there for often- used stuff without ripping up the settee each day. I see the utility of the hatch on the junction box side, but my junction box is a plastic one with four tiny Phillips screws in the corners, and I've reached the clumsy dropping small stuff age. . . .
Importantly, I attacked the hydraulics a couple of days ago, stripped all out, yuk! and removed the drums, backing plates and replaced same with the electric 10" 3500 lb electric kit. Everything fitted perfectly except for the castelated
axle nuts, which were larger diameter than the 1500 lb
axle, but the originals were perfectly usable, along with the washers and split pins.
YesterdayI went to Princess and bought #12 and #10 wire for the hook up. Reason for #10 white wire is that there was no #12, as hoards of trailer owners had come in and scoffed almost all the supplies, getting their trailers ready for the long week end! No #12 or #10 blue to be had and I had to buy 25 foot roll of black and blue tape band it.
This AM I measured and cut the rolls and got the Driver side wires joined at the backing plate, and one of the other side, and ran the wires from the centre of the runs forward, using the holes in the frame centre previously occupied by the hydraulic line, but of course, it started to rain, and of course, the water running down the drive comes right under the
Trillium, and I was very wet from neck to bum, soaking, it was like a ford crossing, and had to quit. One day of no rain should see the job finished. Ha ha! I'll report on that next time.
