If I can do it, anyone can haha.

Calls it as I sees it Kim. That’s a better job of it than I could do

Very nice job there Kim. I might be copying that at some point if you don’t mind?

Me too

I appreciate it

I don’t know a lot to be fair

I don’t think I can get a grommet big enough. It’s 20mm thick where it goes through. I personally can’t see it being an issue. The cable is double insulated as well.

It's SY cable so has some abrasion protection.

I didn't notice that, I think I watched it on my phone.
As long as its earth well it'll be ok.

I tried to find the steel I had but I can’t find it. I’d put money on it being bigger than what you have. Actually I have a way to check, give me a min

 

[KimB]

I think this is what I bought. It doesn’t matter what you use really. The only thing with using narrower is the size you can bend

Cheers, 25mm shafts?

looks good - but where you only have one bearing on the bop and rely on the gearbox bearing for the other side - I'd put that bearing back in - will it fit on the inside instead of the outside?

take the stress off the gearbox bearing

There are two bearings on the top. There’s no axial load on the gearbox.

All I really want to roll is 25mm2 box section, will 25mm dia shafts be man enough and do they have to be silver steel?

Need to get some shafts and 10mm plate. Think I can get some 1" dia stainless bar...

How thick?
Also It doesn’t but it will need to be something with a hard surface. Even silver steel I managed to mark up a little bit when I tried my luck .
