Hi chaps,
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question. It was a toss up between this forum and the off road one. I just thought that my question may get more exposure here?
I have a 96 Disco which is mainly used as an off-raod plaything. Creature comforts and day to day useability aren't exactly high on my list of prioritys for this vehicle.
A couple of months back I sunk for the first time whilst at a local Pay & Play site, and I mean properly sunk, leaving my interior looking like a car park at Glastonbery.
Since then I have had a lot of welding work done and I am looking at doing something to not only make the interior easier to clean out, but also protect the electrics.
I was thinking of locating the ECu inside one of a battery box like this; Standard Battery Boxes | Battery Boxes | Demon Tweeks Motorsport, Motorcycle, Modifying, Parts and Accessories then sealing it up with sealent, in an effort to keep it dry, just incase I do a Titanic impression again.
I was thinking of painting the floor with some kind of rubberised safety paint, then putting rubber load bay liner / footwell mats over the top. Could any of you guys reccomend a paint or paint supplier to use? I will also be adding a couple of drain points front and rear, simply by drilling a hole, welding a nut over the hole, then inserting a bolt into it. Is there any easier ways that I could incorporate drain holes into the floor?
But the one think that I am unsure about is how to protect the wiring looms that run along the floor and behind the transmission cover? If any of you chaps could give me some pointers, then it would be appriciated.
And before anyone points out the obvious of not going in deep water to begin with, I have thought of that, but just cant see the fun in not doing so.
In advance, many thanks.
