Royal 1150K in Vigo
Good evening,
I am considering getting a Royal 1150K to fit in the front of my vigo. The measurements are 335mm (L) x 175mm (w) x 240mm (H).
Now I know certain of the aircon pipes have to be bent a bit to make the bracket fit. Can anyone tell me if this will fit without too much hassle?
Any other considerations?
Thanks

I have been told (on good authority ... he's never lied on the Forum before...) that it should fit.
I have not managed it, and could only fit a 90AH under the bonnet.
Good luck, and please if you get it right, take pics

Re: Royal 1150K in Vigo
its not the aircon pipes, but actually the brake booster pipes that gets bent out of the way when fitting a second battery

Re: Royal 1150K in Vigo
JIP !
in my case my bakkie was only a few weeks old - NO WAY I was risking my warrantee by bending these pipes !
but then, much worse loosing your brakes than the warrantee .....

Gerbrand, are you going to use the Frontrunner battery bracket?

Re: Royal 1150K in Vigo
Was thinking about it, alternatively Oooms said he will help me make my own . I do not have the dimension of the frontrunner one
