[OZAPRS] set up ford territory

[Michael Carey]

Ahh.. it's an older model.  Very good.  I've recently had to install a 
Motorola MCS2000 in a brand new Ford ute... and it was a pig of a job... 
nowhere for the control head to go...

All the suggestions so far have been good.  I prefer a fixed method of 
mounting rather than velcro and suction caps.. but that's just me.

Make sure you don't connect the negative wire to the battery... always 
connect to an earth point on the body, close to where the negative 
battery wire is connected...

Take your time and plan things out... I took almost six months to do the 
initial install in my Hilux... but that was an extreme case...  I think 
you have seen my Hilux haven't you Ben, I'm sure you checked it out when 
I was down in Mt.Gambier one year??

A lot of photos are in here :-

I would hate to install all my radios in a newer vehicle.  I'm hanging 
on to my Hilux for as long as I can.

Michael.
