narh it isnt that flash, looks like it has a MK2 radiator cap which make it just wrong. :wink:

good idea with the light. i have a few 7amp battery's laying around so i might make something similar.

I cant believe people pay money for em, mine is a bit suss looking but cause its still got the right engine and owners manual its worth more than the vit

That is a great idea Royce... its giving me a few idea's for other stuff...

I was just lookin at your tripod, and was thinkin, what about a little hang on basket for the battery, and hang it off the horizontal leg supports, or perhaps make a little clip on tray for the battery to sit on... to keep the battery of the ground... and if you wanted to be really fancy, you could attach a small solar cell to keep the battery charged... this would be a great idea to build, as a self contained unit, and sell them as a portable, take anywhere, flood light... hmmm, idea's... :wink:

So I was in the garage looking at the LED worklight I bought off KPD Industries thinking what the hell am I going to do with this thing and had an idea Bolt the light to a cheap camera tripod I had floating around, put some longer cable on it and plug it into a little sealed battery Instant take anywhere light that should run for a few hours on a little battery, next ill sling some wire into the vit somewhere to plug the battery in and recharge it and get a lamp switch from bunnings (goes inline with the cable) to turn it on and off easy

Deluxe so yeah in Pommy speak its mk2, how can you not know about it its one of the reasons I bought the pump off you (works on them BTW) dont know how long cause the battery doesnt have an amp hour rating on it but my meter says it draws 1.2 amps

Nice looking mini from what you can see, light is a good idea also

Geez and I thought putting a switch on it was being a bit complex I did think about a solar panel for it and in the process of looking for one I ended up with a 100w one instead

Nice work Royce, Smart minds think alike! i used this at the comps, came in really handy for pulling the front diff out in the middle of the night. to a certain degree it can also wrap itself around bar work and the likes as well. The light draws 1.5amps according to the manufacturer so theoretically a 75A/H battery will get you 50 hours of continuos use. I've also got one as a reverse light. It's freaking awesome as a reverse light.
