Denny essex 15 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 looks good mate, you can use some of the dimmer switches from cars for a speed controler , or an old ford heater coil, situated under the bonnet at the back by the heater fan in a small metal cage. Just one question the bird holders are they straight with the arms or angled with the way it rotates ? Not sure im looking at it right or me glasses are wonky Quote Link to post
