Re: [FWDLK] 6-12 v conversion

[Scott H <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I spent a lot of years installing auto alarms and auto electronics. The best
and most dependable relay is the Bosch relay. It is in a plastic casing
about 1 inch square and can be used in normally open and normally closed
circuits. I would say thay any auto alarm/stero place would have them (but
they might want aq lot of $$) I have a few in the garage and could probably
find a part number is anyone needs it, sorry I don't know off hand where to
get them anymore (I have been out of that business for about 10 years) but i
am surer a little net surfing will find them.
If anyone needs any help on how to wire them up let me know, I have used
these things in dozens of different ways.
Even used them to re-wire and hop up my kids Power Wheels Jeep with a deep
cycle 12v tractor battery. He has the fastest Power Wheels on the block.....
now if I can only graft fins onto it.....
