After the Tassie Trip i had a few modifications to do to MissRed.

I fitted a Cel-Fi Go unit to MissRed comprising an 8Db spring mounted Blackhawk Aerial on the bullbar with a 5 Metre extension cable, the Cel-Fi go signal amplifier inside the Canopy with the indoor aerial just above it.

Today I fitted the new Injector line brackets so hopefully i wont break any more lines, i added the 2 extra that you do get on the GQ but dont get on the GU. i had to do it one handed with arm up between diff and motor, head jammed against diff so i couldn't see what i was doing … fun times !

Of course i dropped one of the clamp pieces and had to remove the bullbar winch cover to find it and naturally all the bolts sheered off so i had to drill them out and replace with nuts and bolts which was very hard to access.

Once again it was too nice to leave ... even had a swim in the ice cold water of the lake.
