An idea for the facing side of the foam.

You could go to a mobile home dealer or lumber yard type place, to see about different interior wallboards.
First off it looks better, secondly it gives you room for a bit more solid mounting ideas as that would give a sturdier face that would not wear as quickly.
As is, the noise that will be in that box when moving down the road ( assuming you ever have passengers in the back while you are moving ) would be near deafening with squeaks etc. Also, this foam will be leaving shavings every time you move that thing.

You could glue the wallboard to the foam. oversize holes slightly and leave expansion and movement areas on each meeting to truck box place so the foam wont make a mess. It would be far more quiet and lessen vac time at destination.

I realize the budget concerns but its an idea for you to mull over.

A quick peek at the present response from the batteries under load (there's no charge input here), and a peek at what the WBJR screen looks like...

No lampblack on the fins, but it appears that it may be beneficial to not use it, as I noticed that the catalyst burns cleaner when it runs hotter...

Heatsinks aren't gooped to each other here... but the whole thing works very well, but does still lose a lot of heat out of the exhaust side. I'll keep playing with it...

You should have got the gen 2 "stealth" AL.

I built the gun cabinet in the far corner with it.

It is a bit fiddly to find the handle but being invisible it is pretty secure.

That's awesome! I didn't know they had a newer version... looks good!

There's an issue with mine, not sure if it's defective or what... it seems to be holding the batteries in place fine, but I can't set anything on top... whatever I put on it tends to end up laying on the batteries... hope I don't drop a wrench on it or something before I get it sorted out!  :o

I hear there were a few bad batches. Not enough filler or something. Take it back and exchange it.
