i got it from vintage ,of memory it cost me around 100 bucks,i love cuting up perfectly good panels .
any one heard the one about the guy that finished fitting all his fibreglass panels @ 3 am and he stripped 4 out of 5 wheel nuts while putting the
wheel on.The same guy thought to him self, if i drive home real slowly it will be fine, only to forget all about it and drag raced a fellow worker
mate. He was winning until for no apparent reason he remembered why he should have been driving slowly. The other clue was that after pulling seconds,
the rear wheel decided to move around on the 1 remaining bolt that was holding it on. No point in stoppping now. Might as well drive until the rear
wheel refuses to turn (approximately 300 metres from work). As luck would have it, the guy he was drag racing was behind him (because he was losing)
and decided that it would be safer to lose as opposed to having to dodge a rear wheel that could stray across the road. The loser was then forced to
drive this guy home, no dought having to listen to how he lost to a 3 wheeled shitter. If this is not enough, the workmate was the one who went & did
a roadside repair the next day so that they could race again that evening.

Nice work, Heath
C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

ok. the wiring i am not to sure of, yes it is a three step to a 6al box.the wiring guru(beau) has told me that he knows how to do it.
i should be firing her up on saturday and testing to make sure it all works.
so i will post up some more pic's if i get a chance.
i will get beau to do a drawing of the wiring for you if you don't already have one.
