Tank - redo


Got tired of the bare metal & rusting patina, so I painted it black & added a white stripe.

A movie about IDIOT lights


Well the idiot light dash works, but not the way I expected. The green light in the middle doesn't work because now the neutral light in the LCD does! (see it there on the right). I think its because the extra globe (9 volt) is now creating enough current draw to light the led in the lcd gauges. The indicator lights work as expected! As they say two out of three aint bad!

Idiot Lights


Went to Jaycar and bought 3 x bezels (red & green) and then siliconed in 3 volt & 9 volt minibulbs to use as idiot lights (neutal & turn signals). Red lenses need to be orange though!
