Mit dem Umstellen der Uhren auf Winterzeit ist es nicht mehr möglich ohne Licht durch den Tag zu kommen. Es wird dringend Zeit Energieversorgung zu sichern. Ganzjährig Sommerzeit würde ich irgendwie besser finden.
When the clocks are set to winter time, it is no longer possible to get through the day without light. It is urgent to secure the energy supply. I would somehow find summer time better all year round.
Es muss eine Batteriebox her in der ich eine zweite Batterie verstauen kann. Die Batterie wird gerne unter den hinteren Boden auf der linken Seite montiert. Es gibt extra einen Batterie halter aus Bandstahl. Leider gerade nicht lieferbar. Darum baue ich einen neuen Boden mit einem Holzkasten drunter. Die Box soll möglichst groß werden, damit ich außer der Batterie auch noch andere Dinge darin unterbringen kann. Den Boden baue ich aus einer 15mm Siebdruckplatte, den Kasten aus 18mm. Da ich nicht weiß, welche Kräfte eine Batterie auf einem holprigen Feldweg auf die Box ausübt, baue ich lieber etwas robuster.
I need a battery box in which I can store a second battery. The battery will be mounted under the rear floor on the left side. There is an extra battery holder made of steel strip. Unfortunately not available at the moment. Therefore I build a new floor with a wooden box underneath. The box should be as big as possible so that I can store other things besides the battery. The bottom is made of a 15mm wood plate, the box of 18mm. Since I don't know what forces a battery will exert on the box on a bumpy dirt road, I prefer to build something more robust.
When it was time to install it into the car it was already dark. The more frightened I was, when I noticed that the box was 5mm too wide and now it is clamped between the propshaft and the side member. So I had to rework the box again. Now it doesn't look so nice from below, but you can't see it from above. Well, it was the first draft and I learned a lot about wooden box design and construction. Pictures of the installation will be available tomorrow. Today it was too dark.

This is how it looks when it is built in. The box fits exactly next to the longitudinal beam of the chassis.
Unfortunately he was too close to the cardan shaft. This is in a non-rotating tube, but it moves vertically. Therefore I had to plane the box a bit on this side. Unfortunately the box doesn't look so nice from below anymore. But this does not limit its function.
This is what it looks like from above. I would have better sawn the board from below to avoid the breakouts. Maybe I will paint it black, then it will look better.
Another perfectly fitting lid to close the box and the rubber mat over it. This is already more comfortable than the original battery holder. Here you don't need to go under the car to get the battery.
I would still have fun with more storage space. There is a lot of space under the car. The easiest place would be above the exhaust. I have to measure the temperature there.
When I am lying under the car, the tank is still tight. :-)
