I was going to suggest you weld a triangular fillet into the corner of your mounting plate, just to make it a bit more rigid, but you probably wouldn't welcome the idea now that you've painted it!
Anything's possible, it's developmental. I consider this as a first prototype!
Also, you could use or adapt the mountings of the mounting plate for your earths to keep the wires shorter and tidier (or even hide an earth point behind the mounting plate, although that would mean you'd have to remove the plate if you ever need to access the earths in future). |

I guess its the photo and being a wag I couldnt help but point out you dont want the relays knocked out when you shut the bonnet.... Good job...apart from using PURPLE wiring for the coil!. Purple is only for non ignition fed circuits...as any fule knoe... Jonners |

Nice job, and great to see your article in Classics Monthly. I will have to try to get a copy, but it is very difficult to come across around here. |

I'll turn it around so it doesn't sit on top of the module, it sort of hangs mid air!

It is indeed Adrian Mole, but I thought it was from "down with skool" or somesuch. I think DP being contemporaries of us aging baby boomers would have used a common source... But we digress....cracking work as usual James...who is of course a tad our junior.... Jonners |

Not that I'd wish to imply that sort of age for him I have a book from 1909 entitled " Yarns Ancient & Modern : by W.H. MacDonald basically a collection of my Grandfather's era of short stories. One of these finishes with the words ... "Awa ye bacon-faced fule; Keep yer daft heid inside " I dare say Iain could quote even more uses of the words. Tony |

Not quite! Its from "The secret diary of Adrian Mole (aged 13 and three quarters)" a book I first read at the age of 12 ( the year we won the world cup) As you can tell from the speeling, child illiteracy was already gaining a hold in the 60s!
I think you're confusing Adrian Mole (which wasn't published until 1982) with Nigel Molesworth ....
