Military Police sign is on. I made a canvas cover so I don't attract unwanted attention in transit mode 😁

I also made up a simple insulated drink holder out of an F88 laser pointer case. The plastic box behind it sits on top of the F88 mounts and will be held down by thick cable ties. Makes a great centre console 👍

More pics of the trimcast centre console. Each side is secured to a seat base with three thick pull ties - there's no movement at all

Snorkel is done. Blackout lights on the weekend hopefully.
