STATIC Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Only problem with those though is that green light has a lower wave pattern, so itll be kinda pricy and hard to find any green LED to emit enough light to really make a difference. I find that red LED's are the best option, i got some red ones with 9500 mcu's, while green one emitt like 3500 mcu's. just my advice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/dea...ILD/Bridge1.jpg Ok now I got the slots done and it seems to look ok, Ive got A tiny bit of clean up to do but all en all it looks good. I do have one worrie! the spaceing looks tight but i'll test it out on my Old Impaler since it has the same type of bridge And heck I'll show you my lame but helpfull tool I used files and this to get the slots http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/dea...0BUILD/Tool.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/dea...BUILD/Tool1.jpg !!METAL MATT!!
