Got a major point of the install this week while off work.
Antennas just arrived so I have taken a few pics.
Where the ft-8800 head will be mounted, The main body of the radio still needs to be installed in the glove compartment.
The 3500xlt on a vent mount, A little unsecure so we will see if it's mounted differently when I have more cash.
This is my first major install. I went with the hatchback mounts in the end as I saw drilling holes too much work and could put someone off if I ever came to sell it.
All coax/wiring will be ran so it's descrete as mechanicly possible and protected by wiring loom (flexible conduit).
Next job is to install a 2nd batt to run all the TX radios off such as the ic-706 and ft-8800.
The icom 706 still needs to be installed after the batt aswell as a mount for it.
