Bargain I finally got my MG4 home from the salvage auction

[T1 Terry]

If you want a new crash bar, I just pulled the one off mine today to fit the EV stealth towbar.

Somehow, I completely lost the last post, yet it was up on the site?
I'll try again.
Can you post any info regarding the stealth towbar please. I do have a crash bar from my white MG4 Essence 64 that is a parts donor, so that would get me through the rego part, I just need to find someone who can do the body straightening to remove the wrinkle in the left hand rear floor, and provide the required paperwork for the rego people to clear the repairable write off so I can get it reregistered. I did find one mob, but they have over a 6 mth waiting list, so I'll keep looking.

Found the Stealth towbar for the MG4, I wonder how much that would strengthen the rear end to reduce the extent of the damage in a rear end collision, or would the rear floor crumple the same as part of the whole crumple zone design.
If it wasn't for the whole paperwork thing require by the rego mob, I could pull the floor piece out myself, annoying, but I guess it's to stop backyarders doing dodgy repairs that cover up serious damage

The confusion returns If the limit on the AC is 22 amps, then 7kw would require roughly 320vac. If this is peak voltage, them RMS comes out to around 230vac which would make sense. The 2.2kw if the peak voltage was 320vac, would mean only around 7 amps being drawn, well within the current limit .... or have I run off the rails here and I'm on the wrong track?

22A is off the battery, 32A is to the charging port
22A off the 400V

How is the repair going?

How is the repair going?

Some idiot, I know all to well, decided that waiting till April 2025 was far too long the get a reasonable local body shop to do the body pull out thing and do the paperwork ..... so it's still in the pulled apart stage and acting as the test mule for my trailer reconstruction and as the charger for the house battery in the motorhome when required.

Hopefully, said idiot, will get another booking date from this repairer and deliver the vehicle there at the appropriate time
