    See this part of the Youtube link John:

    zqqi__NWoe0


    Press the Youtube button at the top of the post your writing and paste that link between the brackets, kind of like this:

    (YTB)zqqi__NWoe0(/YTB)

    And it will embed the video into the post.

    Except you need to use these brackets: [ ] instead of the ones that I used to demonstrate ( )

    Thanks Rs, I copied the YouTube link ok but couldn't paste it on here what button do you do to paste?
    Listen,I am thick on computers I am on an I pad.

    Yes they are great boxs and look smart mate my local shop sells some but not all the sizes.
    Anyone with a bit of DIY skills can make a drum and it didnt take long,thing I like about this method is there is no settlement bay as waste goes straight into the drum but you can only have 1 inlet,could be done with 4ins pipe on a bigger scale.

    Great work John. Nice video too.

    Just be careful with those exposed connections though. They may only be 12 volt but they are passing more amps than they would be if they were 230 volts

    Heat shrink sleeving is another option John. It was worrying the shit out of me when you were pointing at the parts in that enclosure with the control gear as it looked like you were getting very close to various live parts

    .
    Think on an iPad you press where you want to paste with your finger for a few seconds and the option to paste comes up. Don't quote me on that as I hate using those things, prefer a proper computer.

    Thanks Rs but what do you press on an iPad?
    Normally if I copy I press the C and Clr at the same time them do the same where I am copying to but I couldn't do that on on YouTube.

    I'll check next time I did the iPad out, but from memory I just press finger on screen where I want to paste and after a few seconds the option comes up to paste.

    Little update on drum,got some new mesh as the other is in 3 pieces and was ready to fit it today when the wiper motor packed up.

    Didnt actually pack up but it seized where the shaft comes out of the housing probably due to condensation.
    Ordered a new one and think I will pack that with Greece,and cant fit the new mesh !!!!!

    New motor came yesterday so fitted that and the new 70micron mesh all in one piece with just one join and fixed with two large s/s jubilee clips so much better.

    The other one leaked a bit between the joins so this one is fine now and doing its job.

    Sounds good John. Have you kept the same micron then and just used a longer sheet?
