Arrow Re: Cossetts Aussie Knight

Hi all, with some help from from Tim and some head scratching and a few stuff ups with the RT mud guard and modifying a few things the back end is locked down for now until its time to paint the miscellaneous parts, the rear tow hitch is from 1800-tim (thanks mate),
"This isn't a perfect truck with nice straight panels everywhere it a honest working rig with some imperfections here and there.........."







Cheers Tracy

Thanks guys for compliments, travis that's easy to answer when I was drilling the rear panels at 11pm they got mixed by accident and they were suppose to be on the other side but couldn't change them to the correct size as the rear brackets on ether side are drilled slightly different (read quote in post #66)
One last thing all the pic's in that post are back to front>>>>>>>>

# Innovative LED technology
# Integrated electronics
# Two-wire connection
# Long life
# Easy installation
# 2 types of mounting on a pole or screw on

The only thing I had to buy separate was my choice of on/off switch and battery connector that I got from my local Jaycar electronics store

The ones I got we 2 x RKL16-OG = 70,00 Euro
1 x Shipping and handling= 14,50 Euro to OZ
the more you buy the cheaper they are

Cheers Cossett
Cossett, the lights you bought are by far the best I have seen. They appear to be SMD leds. Would you know if this was true? Thanks, Joe
