paulus 26 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 W**NK is a understatement . . What do people swap the cig plug for and how do you do it . Pictures would help please !! just cut it off and wire direct to the battery or use a lawn mower connector, if possible put an inline fuse in on the positive wire Quote Link to post

MIK 4,756 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Stripped mine out and re-soldered the connections. Seems fine so far ;-) solder is no good always use block connecters so if it breaks you can fix it Quote Link to post
