The wiring is really tough. If we were just slapping it on, it’d be quick, but…
I don’t think people who think that way would come asking us to do it, so we put our heart and soul into the work (‘ω’)ノ
We spend time puzzling over how to make the mounting bracket, which is… tricky.
We’ll fabricate a bracket for the camera.
The included double-sided and flimsy bracket is what we think of as DIY material (‘ω’)ノ
We should keep it as simple as possible so it doesn’t get in the way when working on the front.
It’s good to keep in mind that aftermarket parts may need to be removed later during surrounding work.
*This can cause considerable inconvenience.
The front and rear cameras are turned on like this.
We painted it with gun coat.
Being able to apply gun coat yourself instead of using spray cans really speeds up the work.
The front is adjustable up, down, left, and right.
Accounting for full suspension travel, we mounted it a bit high to create a sense of unity (‘ω’)ノ
We mounted the rear on the fenderless design.
By the way, the bracket can be flipped upside down. Plus, it can be relocated to the opposite side.
This one only adjusts up and down.
It’s a pretty wide-angle lens, so there shouldn’t be any concerns, but since we don’t want to be disappointed with what we make, we always include a safety factor.
ETC &indicator bracket. This angle can’t be bent, so we made a white piece from 5V material and welded it. It’s titanium, subtly.
Since we just put away the painting tools, black is fine, but we can do it again later if you prefer (‘ω’)ノ
We co-fastened it to the meter bracket. I think it turned out clean.
Talking up its merits (‘ω’)ノ
This is the smartphone holder we installed the other day. This setup is very simple and I like it.
RAM 1-inch ball RAM-B-349U
1-inch short arm RAM-B-201U-A
Quad Lock QLM-BAL
These kinds of small parts have wonderful design and usability too, which is really great.
With anything, it’s about asking yourself: “Am I looking for quality or am I looking for price?”
If you clarify your purpose and choose accordingly, you’ll do well (‘ω’)ノ
We’re talking about its usability here too (‘ω’)ノ
The ETC unit itself is housed inside the side cover that opens with a key.
We removed the onboard tools. In exchange, we were able to hide the ETC and dashcam wiring in the space behind the ETC, making it even cleaner.
Organizing under the seat (‘ω’)ノ
Well, it’s 98% done.
Finding placement, fabricating brackets, and planning the wiring layout—really tough stuff…
The newer they are, the less space there is… I’ll finish it tomorrow (^_-)-☆
