Wiring sorted, bit more plumbing to do :-)

Good stuff, can i suggest a slice of lemon to take the edge off ? :)

So you never stop learning . I contacted the guy that prints the decals over here (fantasy print shop) and explained what i was doing and supplied some pictures. He came straight back and said i was washing the glue off the decals by leaving them in the warm water for 15 seconds. He said i...
