Hi Folks Just to say for those who have built the R620 with the aftermarket topline roof i'm going to use thin magnets to secure the roof (drill holes the the 620 cab and level the magnets in the holes with araldite same for the topline cab) as opposed to gluing the roof to gain access to the wiring and receiver. as tipping the cab does not give my huge hands enough room to work on the wiring should i have a problem in the future .. I will publish photos of the finished article soon

I done this as well !.. after buying the £46 LED dashboard which was surplus and will be used in my next Scania.. the Lipo battery is inside the fake fuel tank in my Heavy hauler equipment rack from a certain online shop !!.. and the side fuel tanks were stuck on the chassis frame rails with clear double sided tape..

I used The army painter black primer on the inside of the windows It worked a treat!

I managed to use the windows again as the cab is now full of wires which have been zip tied to tidy them up. as for the front wires for the bumper lights have still to be installed so heres hoping! I am going to buy the Scania 770s 6x4 soon so my plan for the sound unit will be on another level (eg not in the cab) I am going to ft a box on the back of the cab ( as used in the heavy hauler type real trucks ) to house the sound umit and the wires will be external using looms.

I bought the GT power sound/light unit which is smaller than the Tamiya MFC01/03 for my Scania R620 but i positioned it flat on the receiver platform east to west instead of north to south and the aftermarket LED dash (£45) and seats would not fit ! so I sprayed the inside of the windscreen and side windows black to hide all the wiring etc, I have now seen the image on here that allows me to postion the unit so I can have the dash and seats in. thank you Ant88!!! i am now in the process of removing the spray paint from the windscreen etc with brake fluid hopefully I can get the unit positioned in this cab but the wires are not long enough coming from the rear lights even at 500mm to get the cab up and over ... now more money to be spent on extension cables for the rear cables as opposed to the front cables which are the opposite too long! I have already spent £££££'s on this truck already! perhaps I should go out and buy the real R620 !!!

Sorry Carmine

just what I was going to ask cheers Mate!
