you know how it is you spend ages searching for a part you want when suddenly there it is on a web site.
thats how it started for me
i wanted a pair of brass coach lamps to place on the hanson cab trike body as running lights.
eventually found some in the states, these!

12" high. great a quick phone call and my creditcard was 45 dollars lighter but a good price.
to day i was opening packages which arrived before xmas there was 3 from the usa. mainly the powdercoating gear from eastwood.
but there was this other package from the states.. a small one.
i opened it and low and behold my coach lamps.
now for the lesson boys and girls. read the advert properly.
i read they were 12" tall WRONG
they are 12 VOLT
they are in fact only 1 3/4" TALL.
so i am thinking to myself....god please dont let this be a sample of how 2005 is going to go for me :( :( :(
