Angle of view from the "first fit" is looking good. Need to crack on with weatherproofing and trimming/refitting the surround.
The rubber diaphragm I intend to use behind the camera for weatherproofing is about 2.5mm thick so will allow for some fine adjustment.
Edit: diaphragm fitted, view just as good and minor adjustment possible by slackening screws. Also wired 12v supply into (N/S) reversing light - for reference brown is earth, blue/red +12v.
Tested fine, camera fires up and syncs within a second of selecting reverse. Now I need to start on the internal wiring to get the signal to the RNS-D.
But first, the surround, though it's just started raining here.
