[NoVa-Corvairs] Follow up to yesterday's NVCC Meeting!

Sun Aug 23 11:51:17 EDT 2015

Hi Frank- thanks for the email.  The blinking is not necessary- I think two
headlights is fine, and I would like to do two taillights on top... or at
least one.  I have the assemblies, and wires are in there, intact I
believe.  Any suggestions on that variable voltage supply? Is there
something that I can just buy for that?  I was wondering if a landscape
light power box would work, that is 12v lighting, but maybe those aren't
strong enough?  I got the clip from the Ranch- Jeff cut it off and dropped
it in my pickup truck for me.

*Thanks!*
