All that wiring must be a bit tedious but I am sure the finished article will be a great sight to behold, well done you.

Actually being picky, it's 98% rounded to the nearest whole number.... But that's being very picky, especially when 98% would likely be my failure rate!! :tired:

In ALL seriousness Chris, very, very well done indeed, it must be a real weight of your mind.

HI Andrew ok 98% but im pleased on that wireing just got to hope i done get any more fail as i found the wire that wont work as i removed the plug from the hull as i thought that if the wire is on the top or bottom row i can repair it but sods law has struck as its a wire right in the centre row of pins on the plug an if i try an open up the top an bottom wires knowin my luck i'll proberly do more damage an brake more wires as its thses rainbow ribbon wires as they only have about 4 strands of soft copper wire an they brake off easy so ive refitted the plug in the hull an jen an i did another load of wire testing again an they all now seem ok but if any more fail then i shall take them all out an replace the rainbow ribbon wire with them grey wires that i fitted in the front as they have been no trouble so see how we go on that
CHEERS for you post Andrew
