Techenders September 2016 weekend of 23/24/25 Who's coming?

I'm thinking I should sit next to you @zedders just to make sure I'm doing it correctly
Some of the more experienced members could form a judging panel. Marking out of ten maybe. For time taken. How much spilt etc. Do we include type of oil ?

How's the connection made into the 12v circuit?

It comes with a plug/converter that then goes into a connector block which also has the IR sensor so just cut the plug off to use for 12v

I stuck mine on the outside of the van. Bit tacky but the kids love it.

Will show as you at TE

 

I got the same one

 

I've seen a very classy knight rider style led strip which goes on ur front grille!

On a serious note however I'm looking for a piece of waterproof rip stop nylon tent or sun canopy material that comes in a width of 2.6m, any ideas?

Please don't say eBay as they're all stating 150cm and I really don't want to be joining two pieces together!
