Help With This

Hi T-R-Y
I've got a brake van I've been wanting to convert, I'll post some pictures when I do it,

But yes, the single screw on the bottom holds the top half and the chassis together, I'm sorry but I don't have any other photos of the conversion other than what super has posted,

Yes I did use a 3v button cell to power it

What you need for the conversion.....
X1 - 3v button cell

X1 - button cell holder

X1 - switch

X2 - 3mm red led's (and you will need a 3mm drill bit to drill the hole if you don't have one)
LEDs on eBay

X2 - resistors (47 ohm for a red led)

And some wire, I like using 30 AWG in black and red

You will also need a soldering iron, solder, wire cutters/strippers and heat shrink.

I then wired it as per this drawing


When I do my next van I'll take photos,

& It certainly is do-able


Tbh I like the dual led brakevans but the batteries don't last overly long, the last van I did I used a single led and it lasts longer,
