Yep! Permanently mounted on the roof. Get the panels up there, position them, mark out where the feet go. Then clip the wires together, clean off those spots nice and clean with alcohol to get off any oils, and tape 'em down.

Here's the tape; https://www.amazon.com/3M-4950-WI15-Scotch-Tape/dp/B00CC14L96

They use this stuff to hold windows onto the faces of skyscrapers. It's legit. The only caveat is to not apply it when it's cold, if it's below 60 or so it doesn't set correctly. But as long as you clean the surface and mount 'em when it's warm out, it works really well. I have 4 panels on top of my promaster, and they've been through 50+ mile an hour crosswinds while going 75+ and a few journeys across the country.

Then route the wires from the panels into the van. Most people go through the roof. There are a lot of ways to do it. The simplest is to just drill a hole, file down the edges, stick the wires through, and then douse it with silicone. Not the neatest but it gets the job done just fine.

Those wires go to the solar controller, which you'll have mounted near your batteries.


As for the rest of things:

I recommend getting a normal minifridge. They work just fine, they're quite efficient normally, and they're way cheaper than anything designed for a van specifically.

Any inverter over 1000w should be fine. I'd recommend just going for a proper, full-sine inverter. GoPower makes a full-sine inverter for 1500w that should suite all your needs with room to grow as you add batteries/panels in the future. They're just more efficient and some electronics don't work right with a modified sine power source.

Then, you can just run a extension cord from the inverter, and a fridge etc off that. Or, take that extension cord and wire up some proper outlets off it (pretty easy, if you have walls solid enough to mount an outlet on).

I did a mixture of ac/dc wiring, and I think it was a pointless complication. A pure sine inverter is already 95% efficient, and if you wire everything off the inverter you can skip a lot of fuses (since the inverter will shut off if there's a short.

Lots of advice! Just what worked for me. I'm a huge nerd about building shit so as I said, feel free to hit me up

u/zelis42 · 2 pointsr/Judaism

My fiance is in NoVA. We were told by the landlord not to put it on the outside of the door, and he didn't want to make a stink. So it's hung on the inside with this stuff. It's a super strong polyurethane tape, and it's easy to cut to the size needed. And it's definitely secure. Command strips should work, as well. I know a few people who have successfully used them.

Aish has some solid advice on mezuzahs in apartments here.

Best of luck! I hope you like NoVA!

u/FilthierRaptor · 3 pointsr/E90

To get right to the point their amazing the sound quality is defiantly a bump up even though I’ve had them for only a day now. I sound deadened the door inside behind the weather shielding and the door panel as seen in the imgur. The vocals are much clearer, and the bass is much more pronounced than the under seat subwoofers. Keep in mind the OEM HIFI is 2 OHM’s @ 40 W’s on everything so you’ll need twice as much volume to run the 4 OHM 35 W Helix Match’s I bought (which are getting around 20W at this moment). I’ll probably overtax the amp if I put the volume up too loud but…… I’m aiming for a better amp anyway! *The sound deadening was a big factor I would say in addition to the speakers. I’m you want to know more just look through the below:

_________________________________________________________________

First off, the E90Post is amazing for finding info although most of the products they used are now discontinued and cost a fortune so its up to you to find their replacements. Yes, you can spend a grand or two on some system premade from BAVSound or ... but I still can’t justify it. https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=641323

BMW Pin-Contact (075mm) - Genuine BMW 61130006664

$11.49 Foam Tape + $57.99 Sound deadening = $69.48. I’ve had this for years and used them for multiple projects so I’m not sure whether to include them. *I’m going to exclude them for now

Spending so far: $107 speakers + 15.48 Adapter + $11.99 Connectors + $39.44 OEM Wiring for front and rear =$173.91 with multiple parts left over for future projects and the rear

________________________________________________________________

Overall my plan is:

Front Component Speakers: Helix Match MS42C (Not buying the BMW specific kit for $100 to 150 more because I can deal with making a few custom things or finding them)

Rear Component Speakers: Helix Match MS42C (I have OCD so I’m just doing this because… Otherwise I coaxial full range with similar specs would have been a lot better) * I still need to either buy another 4 to 3 mount adapter and custom make a tweeter holder. The BMW tweeter is one piece.

Both Under seat Subs: I plan to just scavenge for some L7 subwoofers since they are more than power for most needs. The HIFI is a 40W on 2OHMs and the TOP HIFI L7 is 70W at 4 OHMs. They run about $80-100 for the pair on ebay instead of the Earthquakes at $200 a pair.

_________________________________________________________________

The speakers I bought can run constantly at 35 Watts RMS without an Issue at 4 OHMs and 105 Watts at 4 OHM for short bursts.

So, from research on the forums I’m good with most amps and won’t damage the alternator due to overtaxing it for power since I’m not trying to do some crazy setup.

In addition the BMW Professional from the Hifi isn’t the best but apparently has a pretty clean signal so a DSP isn’t really need although a audiophile will say so. *AMP and speakers will make a world of difference, go with a DSP if you really want insanity like filtering all the minerals out of your water to wash your car.

AMP I’m between the Rockford Fosgate R600X5 and the Pioneer GM DX975 since they’ll both fit in the little crevice where the normal amp sits when removed. $200-250 on amazon or scavenging deals. I need 35 RMS @ 4OHM x 4 so 140 RMS Min @ 4 OHM for speakers and 70 W @ 8 OHMs x 2 so 140 W at 8 OHMs or 240 W @ 4 OHMs

BMW E90/F10/F20/F30 Hi Fi AMP Connector Harness $60 to change the stock HIFI amp to a 5 channel or 6 channel *I’m go 5 channel, the 6 channels are way too expensive and rare

(4 channels for speakers and 1 channel for the subs under the seats to make an 8 OHM) *Lower OHMs usually results in worse sound quality. *A 4 OHM amp can run an 8 OHM without a problem just at half the capacity.

Spending so far: $107 speakers + 15.48 Adapter + $11.99 Connectors + $39.44 OEM Wiring for front and rear =$173.91 with multiple parts left over for future projects and the rear

In total when fully finished this should come out to $660.91 or a little more but I’m left with many parts for future endeavors.

Posted to a diff user but here:

Here's a pro tip I can share.

My gf has a bunch of these and I kept knocking them over since they are on the same stand as our key holder.

HitLights Heavy Duty Double Sided Foam Mounting Tape, 32 Feet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PKI7IBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_WKWqhm3aTpXGs

Buy that. I initially bought them to mount LED strips. They are AMAZING and last forever.

They don't peel off paint and stick like crazy even tho if u touch the strip ud think it wouldn't do anything. Used it for LED strips, taping cardboard to fill gaps in a window for an internal AC unit, and lastly and most relevant took tiny strips and put them on the bottom of their feet. Now they are super sturdy and the cat can't even knock em over.

TL;DR: buy this (whatever size) and stick em to the bottom of their feet.

u/rubiksman · 4 pointsr/Multicopter

Hey John,
I have one solution to your problem. For the ESC: I mounted the ESC in the center and decided to face it in this way (excuse my trackpad drawing), with the esc cords going to their closest motors. I did this because I didnt know the "correct" way, and figured I would rectify it with the naza connection. In one of the pictures in this album you can see the weird servo cord going into the m-ports on the naza. For my esc to motor layout the servo cord with the ground and power goes to m4, m3 gets the far outer signal cord, m2 gets second from furthest out signal cord, and m1 gets the third from outside signal cord. I recommend you look at the picture, because I just confused myself trying to write that out :P
also, right now I am only using velcro to temporarily hold my gopro on, and to secure my battery. For mounting the ESC, naza, and reciever I highly recommend using double sided tape (preferably foam tape cheaper roles can be found). The foam will be plenty secure for holding devices onboard. It is also highly recommended you use some sort of locktite for mounting the arms, both with the top bolts and bottom bolts so they dont vibrate loose (happened to two of my screws). Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns! Always happy to help!

u/NRiyo3 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I would buy some 3M VHB mounting tape. The stuff rated for exterior use. Use that to reapply the brackets. Make sure to prep the areas with rubbing alcohol for proper adhesion. Make sure to buy the width that fits your needs the best:
3M-Scotch-4910-VHB-Tape/dp/B00I4E4NE8
Amazon or similar to purchase. Good luck.

u/wobblyparadox · 11 pointsr/SpaceBuckets

Combination of parts from Amazon and ebay. Not all of them are necessary, fittings and Brute trashcans and such are from Home Depot.

u/happyevil · 2 pointsr/buildapc

It's really dependent on the case, the cables you're using and personal preference.

The first two are hard to cover but I can go over some basics. If you have space behind your motherboard use it. Additionally, many cases with 3.5" bays have extra space to the side of them which is also great for tucking cables back.

Keep cables away and against the walls near primary airflow areas such as in front/behind fans, middle of the case and graphics cards. Use cable ties, velcro or Zip tie mounts (my personal preference) which come in various sizes and are relatively cheap.

Finally, personal preference matters because it isn't necessary to hide your cables. Most people do this merely for the aesthetics. What is (or should be) necessary is cabling for good airflow. You can have cables out and visible in the case as long as they do not inhibit airflow. This means keeping them along edges of the case and/or other obstructions that cannot be moved.

Pro tip: When using zip tie mounts get a roll of mounting tape and some reusable zip ties. Now if you reorganize or rebuild you can reuse the mounts/ties.

u/Try-it-then-Riot · 1 pointr/gaming

Haha well you guys are all right. Not a 3m rep, but I have to admire there vast world of adhesive patents. Just like u/Catsilo said though VHB tape is intense. 3m markets it as an alternative to welding for some applications. Here is an alright deal on some

u/SmellsLikeNostrils · 2 pointsr/EDC

copied from my earlier comment

Like this.


The two parts are held together with VHB tape. More than strong enough.

The clips is a Nite Ize universal smartphone clip which comes with a strip of VHB.

The rest is pretty obvious.

EDIT: I bought a clear VHB, for other uses. For this, I think a softer, foam core VHB might work better. The edges aren't flat, and don't rest flat against each other. It still works tho.

u/jumpiz · 1 pointr/Dashcam

You can get clear 3M VHB (Very High Bond) Tape, 1 inch width x 5 yards for $21, best price of it at Amazon.

I change my car 3 times already and I keep the same camera for all of them. Awesome tape.

u/andersanity · 2 pointsr/Hue

Highly recommend. I've been using this clear variant https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Y7EWRO/ for all of my hue mounting needs and have been very satisfied. It comes in various widths as well, but this one is perfect for light strips.

u/Flamenmars · 2 pointsr/vive_vr

3M VHB (Very High Bond) Tape.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Y7DV4E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

cut to form and make sure to clean surfaces with alcohol before applying. Strong hold but can also be easily removed without residue by pulling like those 3m hook strips.

u/vgsmart · 1 pointr/headphones

You can actually buy the exact same 3M adhesive they use from Amazon or their website.
https://www.amazon.com/TapeCase-Width-Length-Converted-Tape/dp/B007Y7G1S2?ie=UTF8&ref_=biss_dp_t_asn

https://www.amazon.com/CS-Hyde-Conformable-Double-Sided-Adhesive/dp/B004V3SLNU?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

In both cases you'll have to cut them to fit perfectly, so if you don't want to do that or don't need a GIANT ROLL of the stuff, may be easier to just buy the pre-cut pack from Antlion and get some extra base clasps and clips in the process.

u/shifty480 · 1 pointr/Hue

I’ve used this for other projects and it’s seriously strong.
I wouldn’t use use if for tape though. It’s too permanent.

I would try some heavy duty mounting tape like this:

​

https://www.amazon.com/3M-Heavy-Mounting-width-length/dp/B007Y7H56E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8

​

Though you may want to try your luck at a hardware store. Looks like amazon has a bunch of re-rolled 3M tape and it's not as good.

u/beth6han · 2 pointsr/Dashcam

Since I am not sure exactly what tape you have I cannot say if you should use it. The tape that is generally suggested, and what is used by reputable vendors is 3M VHB Tape It is #5952 Heavy Duty Mounting Tape -Scotch Brand. The VHB stands for Very High Bond.

You can go ahead and use the tape that you have at hand, just make sure that the windshield is clean and dry, and that it is warmed up by the heater. Press and hold the bracket for a few moments and then leave it alone for at least an hour before you attach the dashcam. It needs time to 'cure'.

If you want to keep some 3M VHB tape at home to be used for other projects, you can find lots of it on Amazon, here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/VHB-Adhesive-5952-Automotive-Industrial/dp/B00MAT2WZU/ref=sr_1_48?ie=UTF8&qid=1493975056&sr=8-48&keywords=3m+double+sided+tape

u/iregret · 2 pointsr/Cartalk

I would deal with it by buying a second hand replacement fender. Shouldn't cost too much.

If you truly don't care what it looks like, go to home depot, or lowes and get a small sheet of aluminum and some shears. A piece large enough to cover he gash.

Order this tape:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC14L96/ref=biss_dp_t_asn

Cut the aluminum to roughly the size you need to cover the gash. Feel free to beat on it with a hammer and sorta form it to your car.

Lift up your shaped piece and install that tape. Line it up and stick it down. That take is shocking how well it sticks.

u/-AdamTheGreat- · 1 pointr/GoogleCardboard

I went with these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WVNRKBG

I got the Finebest version which is an unbranded Z3. It was Saturday free shipping prime.

u/kerfufflator · 3 pointsr/SubaruForester

I use a Steelie Car Mount to mount my Galaxy S7 on my 2012 Forester. Had the same gear for my last car and phone and it's not failed me yet. When it comes time to move the mount somewhere, just find a spare plastic membership/rewards card laying around and use it to wedge between the console and the mount. The VHB tape is tough but it'll come off with patience. Also, best to buy a roll of VHB tape from Amazon (the exact roll I bought 2 years ago this Friday and still use) if you expect to move the mount more than once. It's far cheaper than buying the tape kit from Steelie, and you can use it for anything else you need to stick on something.

u/OhMyAnAussie · 2 pointsr/InfinityTheGame

I use Double Sided Foam Tape. It's designed to hold stuff like mirrors on tiles so it's super strong and it's easy enough to remove from minis since all you need to do is slip a knife into the foam bit then roll off the remaining tape from the mini contact point. I usually attach it to whatever I'm going to hold on to when I paint the mini..normally a cork bung.

For smaller bits or for things that have 2 sides like a cape I use Blu-Tak (mounting putty in the USA). Forms a decent hold but lets you remove it and remount in seconds.

u/Dinkomx · 2 pointsr/Hue

I used this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EOEW25S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_5fAUAbJQXDW2J
For the bends and the begining and end of the strip, it is prety much permanent so just use a small piece 1/4 inch or less where you want to anchor the strip. The trick is to clean the surface with some isopropyl, stick it and hold strong preasure for a couple of minutes. So far it seems inpervious to heat, humidity and has a strong hold (I used it on a courtain top box with several bends and 4, 90º angles about a year ago) you will use just a litle bit of the tape but it is verry handy around the house anyway.

u/Y0tsuya · 1 pointr/DataHoarder

3M command-strips are kind of expensive though. They're essentially just cut-pieces of 3M VHB tapes. You can buy it in bulk by the roll. And you should do that since it's great to have around and I keep finding uses for it.

http://www.amazon.com/3M-Heavy-Mounting-4910-Clear/dp/B00HD29S42/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1427221969&sr=8-5&keywords=vhb+tape

In servers I use it to hold 2.5" HDD/SSDs to the chassis.

u/leapmotion_alex · 1 pointr/oculus

It works on Vive Pre, though you'll want a slightly thicker foam adhesive than what's in the package right now. (It sticks, but since the mount is flat and the headset is slightly curved, a thicker adhesive gives a nicer fit). We'll have updated mount kits soon. Anyone who has already ordered a mount and wants to use it on the Vive can get just about any 1/8" foam adhesive strips from their local hardware store, or get it online.

3M 4910 VHB tape or 4905, but 4910 is thicker and will likely work better.

Allow me to introduce you to 3M VHB tape

http://www.amazon.com/3M-Heavy-Duty-Mounting-Black/dp/B0016HM7SE

We use this stuff to hold aluminum panels to the sides of buildings! For when you REALLY want something to stay put!

u/np20412 · 12 pointsr/Lexus

Get some 3M industrial strength VHB double sided tape and stick it on. It will never fall off again.

Just use VHB tape on the fiberglass on top. No holes needed. It'll hold just fine. It's how most people install panels on metal roofs, as long as you clean the surface thoroughly it'll be cool.

Mine are mounted with this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CC14L96

Renogy panels, using their little mounting brackets. It comes out to about 16 square inches of tape per panel (4 inches per bracket). Each INCH of tape is rated for 140 pounds. Seriously. They use this shit to hold windows on to skyscrapers. I stuck an inch on a washer with an eyebolt onto some scrap metal, and couldn't deadlift it off with a proper handle.

I wasn't sure I was going to trust it, but then I put the first panel on and tried my damnedest to tear it back off, and couldn't. I was putting at least a few hundred pounds of tension on it, which is way more than the wind ever will at any speed, and it didn't twitch. This shit works, is what I'm saying. I trust it completely.

I'd at least buy it and give it a shot if I were you. If it doesn't seem solid (...just try and rip it off. the fiberglass will give out before the tape does, and the fiberglass is plenty strong) then add some screws and dicor, or put some fiberglass mat and epoxy over the feet of the brackets

Yes, it can be bent and attached to the back of a 60" TV -- but you will want to use something other than the tape that comes with it. It will fall off after a few weeks, if not days.

I had a roll of https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0016HM7SE/ , used around 1~ foot (cut into pieces) and it has stayed on the back of my tv for around 2 years now.

DoubleSided tape will stay there. Just clean it with Alcohol. I used the 3M grey with red plastic on it. It's the same tape that holds on car emblems and if it can take that abuse, it will hold on the dot matrix. :)

Haven't had a problem with either of the A119 mounts here in Florida (replaced a windshield one time), although I do mount it on the tint strip to conceal the gray color of the mount. You can also try this 3M VHB that I'm using for other things on my windshield.

u/luke1900cc · 3 pointsr/HVAC

Not that huge a deal.
But, this will work fine. http://www.amazon.com/DiversiTech-6-9718-Foam-Insulation-Black/dp/B00SYQ3VNA
Or find and hvac guy and give him 5 bucks for 10' of it.

u/Mortimer452 · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Foam insulation tape would work better.

Why are you worried about the icemaker water line freezing - is it outside or something?

u/hobguy7996 · 1 pointr/nexus4

And put some really sticky VHB tape on the grippers.

u/Zer037 · 2 pointsr/boostedboards

Oh I thought those are NeonFlex lights. Did you use electrical tape for the battery? That's going to rattle and fall off. I had similar set up and used this. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PKI7IBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For me, the soft velcro wasn't resilient enough and the rattle has returned. I'm going to take another crack at it with some foam tape I had previously bought to fix the rear hatch rattle I also had.

Double Sided Tape, HitLights... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PKI7IBG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I’ve also used even stronger stuff than this, but it’s not necessary and just a bigger pain to get off. Many aftermarket parts come with the tape I have linked and have never heard of anyone having an issue.
