[Rovernet] Dash wood

[Barry Lafbery]

Hi Ben,
            I will see what I can do in the next few days.

I have already wired flashing turn signals into my car. I am using the 
front side lights, i changed the bulb holder to take an 1157 yellow bulb 
and used the reverse light part of the rear lights with a yellow bulb. 
This is all wired separate with it's own turn switch and is in no way 
connected to the Trafficator wiring.  The only thing is I no longer have 
reverse lights, I am looking for a P4 number plate light as that has the 
number plate light and reverse light all in one. but P4s are very thin 
on the ground up here.

According to UPS tracking the springs are in MD, so they should be on 
time and be with you tomorrow.

Cheers
Barry
