Lols!, thanks, yes its usable, but far from perfect!

Maybe next time your doing a run with a proper machine i could send you the blank moulding? would be great to sort a proper machine for doing it.

Could be a marketable product maybe?!

Definitely marketable....if one existed that would house my switchgear and cb and maybe my sunglasses etc....and was around the £30 mark I'd just buy it!

Sadly I don't see one...so it's on my "to do" list.

I think what you did was great and you learned a few things along the way which is how we all learn best...heuristically?

When I get around to the roof pod I'll send you one free of charge just for having a good go at it....and succeeding!....you can place it in the bin if you don't like it :D

Your mate did a great job on the wiring....always knew OCD was a good thing! :D

I hope you have Zombie lights....they're all around me down here!

No comment on yours Dave but sadly you don't get the job! ;-)

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo zombie lights im afraid, but i did find one that said 'cockpit lights' on it so ive ordered some of these for the rear area...



and ive got some LED ribbon hanging around that might find a home somewhere :-)

Mate is called Joel and yes he is proper OCD about the wiring, i wont relay his comments about yours Dave!

Thanks!,

Its mounted up and working (mostly, theres still some wiring to finish off).

It sits a bit far back to be honest, but does work well. Only banged my head on it once so far (and i aint got the haircut for that action!)

will post a pic soon.
