can it nearly be a year since my last update on here.. my grief!! well I will post some progress pix next, but firstly a question.. Seat boxes.. or should i say seat mounting on seatboxes.

I’m a radio engineer in the TV game - it’s all servers now.. so think I am going to look into the “what’s powered at what voltage” and where in the vehicle when it’s got the manpack rather t...
