WonderWoman (What happened to Seahorse :lol: ) When drilling with the spade bits drill about half way through (Or until the spike has come through the back) and then turn the piece around and drill through from the other side, you'll get a better finish.

If anyone does decide to make their own, Make sure the relay coil is a 240v ac type, most relays have dc coils (i.e. 12v dc or 24v dc etc) this type won't work in this circuit, the ac types tend to be harder to get hold of. Relays have a coil voltage and a contact rating voltage/current, make...

Les, I had a look all right and as you said a good list came up, certainly more than I've seen in the past, If I was going to chase up on from the buy and Sell I'd have to leave it until after Christmas, which is what I think I'll do.
