Heh! Thanks for the kind words, Tom. :-) Well, it *was* for my
newest and most expensive vehicle so I didn't want to hack it up too
bad. :-) The pre-planning and diagrams I did were worth their weight
in gold when it came time to do the install since I ordered the parts
and did the install a few months after the initial planning, so I had
forgotten certain aspects of the system. :-) I should probably scan
it in and post it on the web site, though with my chicken scratch
writing, that might not be as useful as it might seem. ;-)
As far as a kit goes, its somewhat tempting, as I am somewhat
tempted to put a kit together for anything I make, but this was more
of a one-off type deal. It could probably be done, but what with the
differences between vehicles, it would probably be more trouble than
its worth. Instead, I basically figured I'd put as much info as I
could up on my web site so that someone who was so inclined could
have a pretty good head-start to create a similar system on their
own vehicle.
