Ok Someone's got to kick this thing off

Still waiting for my first subscription issues to arrive but picked up a copy from my local tesco this morning when i popped in for milk

Not a lot to look at or do in the first issue but one thing that's obvious is the improvement in the feel/quality of the parts from the test issues earlier this year

fit the LED Cluster into the LED Cluster Mounting so that the three pin sockets match the three screw holes and then screw them together using the 3 black fixing screws

remove the wire holding the power lead together

You will notice that there is 2 different plug sizes.. we want the smaller one to attach to the cluster to the control circuit

Simply press it together until it clicks firmly into place

And that's it for issues one just need to put away until next issues arrive

Thanks for looking guys ... Have a great 2017 Woot
