That is a cool link. Well done sir! 
First the OE Electrical tape and now that link to replace the 82122-90K03.

Clarification: from 24v diesel Coaster.
That’s a result of “part schematic night work.”
One unsafe aspect of the stock 24v layout is the proximity of the positive terminal to the firewall. An accident or rollover could easily put the positive terminal in contact and cause a fire. At a minimum, I'd install a terminal cover and maybe take some rubber hose, slit it, and install over that protruding seam on the firewall.
Way ahead of you Les.
Waiting for some fusible link connections and the + terminal at the firewall will be completed.
And protected.
Right on! The rubber cover will definitely help but something similar to this could still happen. This was a failed mount but an accident could produce the same results. I have seen a lot of car fires in my time and a 24v, dual battery system would be much more likely to catch fire. I don't think any current production vehicle would have such a layout.
Bashed in a rear window a couple of weeks ago - not entirely a bad thing as on removing the window unit to put in a new pane I found some rust along the bottom of the frame that needed fixing. Years of dirt had collected under the drain holes along the bottom of the sliders & held water. Now I know to give them a blow out or a poke out with a zip-tie before washing the truck.
The great thing about using roof paint on your 'Cruiser is that it comes in a 10L pail, so you can do the whole truck & still have 8L left over for touch ups
All done. The 'string in the rubber groove' trick I had heard about for getting the window back in worked mint.
Cheers

On this note, be careful who you have work on your Cruiser. I have had 24v Cruisers come to me from other shops that didn’t have the batteries locked down. Simple mistake that can have drastic results.
Cheers
Really bringing the excellence to these improvements @Onur. Looks so well done. You're giving me aspirations for repairs on the Troopy.
Is that Yazaki tape with or without adhesive? I've been using adhesive-less tape on intermediate sections with 3M adhesive tape at the ends to keep things buttoned up. Curious how you're working the Yazaki tape.
The Yazaki tape is adhesive-based. The Elliot tape is as well. I have some non-adhesive that only adheres to itself but I just don't like working with it in the cold (which it is here in NY).
Few weekends ago went on a trip to the Abercrombie National Park with some mates. Hope everyone is managing OK with the state of the world right now.
Nice trunk tray! Where did you find this??
First of all I had help from a fellow 'MUD member but here's the link.
