Steve or Shep, any Ebay links to the LED strips?
At home I have the details who I bought from but I am out in the States. Just search white 12v led strip and there is plenty in various cut to length strips

decided to refresh the pedal box, so stripped it out, re zinc passivated all the metal parts

had a small clutch leak so replaced the cylinder, which is probably why the pedal box was a little corroded.



best £20 vfm I've spent!

I'll add to that, you can buy a 5m strip and cut it down to desired lengths. Some simple soldering and you can make up bespoke lengths.

You need to get the gel coated waterproof versions.
Hi,
The LED interior lighting looks great.
I have a 5m roll so do I literally cut it where I want, bare some of the copper strip and solder on some thin tails? Does the other end near connecting to form a loop too?
Sorry for the silly questions this isn't my strong point.

Thanks,

Mick

Mick, using the strips I had, they come with tails on one end & you cut the strip at pre-marked points to the length you want. It will only work connected up one way as the LED's are directional so check this before you solder the wires into place. No need to do anything with the cut end.

Not sure about adding tails to make additional strips but yes, in theory add two wires to the remaining strip and repeat the above.

This looks stunning, exactly what I am planning to do on my Tamora smile
