Moderator Airhead Posted April 21, 2010 Moderator Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hey welcome Paul Lets have some pics of your DT project, quite a few DT fans here so you will get lots of help with it i expect. You need to give detailed info though, for all we know the battery is forked, so tell us exactly. why not start with the horn and brake light just for example. ...Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
