Posts: 380 | Voila! i haven't done it personally but make sure you use a relay for them as the main beam circuit can't take the juice for too long before getting hot and popping! other than that i presume its a straight forward case of splicing the relay box into the main beam getting power from the battery and earthing the earth  So you can now enjoy the celebrated ale that still eludes the Ferrets of the Gribble Inn - Fursty Ferret | ||

This was the scariest part when I did it!! As long as your carefull it should be fine!  :p Jack the Black Cooper!! | ||
