Made mine yesterday, couldnt thank shotokan enough. Little bit of jigging here and there, but wasnt too hard to figure it out. Got it to £30.50 for bits, im just deciding on the on the switch, i like the idea of a remote one but just something else to go wrong in my opinion. Pic and little vid below. PS thats not me getting excited on video https://youtu.be/e0q-56ylgpY
It was the type 3 that had the 20 amp relays already on the pc boardhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-12V-10A-RELAY-1-2-3-4-CH-WIRELESS-REMOTE-CONTROL-SWITCH-TRANSMITTER-RECEIVER-/131793343790
this i find interesting as I've just bought few power up HD reels, not so sad as they work well but i have three or four spare standard, hand wind in reels same as the HD power ups from window cleaning wharehouse do you think most these items would be able to retro fit my spare wind in reels so i could set up in the other vans

I'd like to have control as when you depress the button it reels in and lift your finger and it stops...................other than that I'm gonna get one of these which is variable and will slow it down................but unfortunately not remote http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152226988240?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Just did another search and found these, they look identical, albeit a bit dear considering the price of the parts needed.
