so got the solar panel bracket done, thought i might as well stick a light bar up whilst at it. 40watt panel seems to put out enough to keep my deep cycle battery happy whilst car sits in my driveway, connnected to alternator as well & have portable 120watt panel for when i go away. be interesting to see how my bracket holds up, bit concerned about flex when cruising at 100 kph & also when bouncing around on the tracks. being stainless (wouldve preferred mild steel but i used what i had & it saved me painting as well) probably gunna be prone to cracking, esp on the welds, if so I'll just do it again, this time with mild steel (at least i now have a template i know fits, was a pain in the arse to make it in my customers workshop & then bringing it home to see how it fits & seeing what needed altering etc)
