Re: Southcoast meet
when someone sorts a meet, it needs more than this sort of notice. i love the old bangers, and am pleased to chin wag at length about em, but have other stuff going on too. Your comment comes across a tad aggressive... I'm sure you don't mean it to... just though I would point it out :P It is a tad...

Thinking of moving away from extreme body mods and going more to subtle... Would love air ride, but gener...

Re: Lighting Relay Circuits
My biggest short fall is the thinking side of it... with 2 very loud, whiny kids that wont give me 5 mins to think... And when I do get some quiet time Its late and I'm knackered... Once the thought process is out of the way, I understand how it works... It took me several weeks to work out the rela...

Re: A Bit Of Help With Lights And Relays...
Why are you taking your signal from the highbeam only? Also, the "high beam signal" was probably still giving power through it. Was taking the 'signal' from high beam so that when high beam was turned on it would give power to the coil in the relay thus activating the switch mech and givi...

As far as I remember, they are machine pressed... You might find the play at the motor. If it's hitting the bonnet, move the arm a spline or 2... Easier than it sounds lol
