Many porche 911's have a chrono stopwatch built into the top of the dashboard so that you can record your lap times whilst driving on a race circuit.Other people refer to it as a wart/pod ,an ugly lump on the dashboard that is of no use in every day driving.
I was asked by a customer if I could modify his "wart/pod" to have a speed camera detector retro fitted instead of the stopwatch.The customer felt this would be of better use than the stopwatch and would not have the dashboard cluttered with the speed camera detector mounted on it.
I took the popular road angel detector apart and had a new mount cnc machined to install it in the original stopwatch mount.The power to the speed camera detector was hidden and hard wired so that it came on/off with the ignition.The customer was very happy with the look of the speed camera detector mounted in the "wart"and said he was going to send pictures to the porsche 911 magazine.
Another job with a twist that makes every day different.

It's been a while since I last wrote a post so I thought I would let you know about our last job that we had today. It was a trailer !! Trailers have electrics for the lights but also this one had a pneumatic pump as it was a tilt bed trailer. The electrics on trailers suffer badly with corrosion and abuse as the lights often getting knocked or damaged.
This can result in blowing fuses on the car or even damaging the original wiring and could lead to the car failing its MOT due to the trailer socket electrics not working correctly.
The trailer that we had in had damaged lights so we were able to replace these as we keep in stock a various selection of trailer lights and electrical connectors whether they are the original 7 pin or the new 13 pin electrical connections to the car. The customer was pleased with the repair as he would not be stopped by the police again for not having the lights working correctly on his trailer.
