Hi RR

I can see you are making progress of sorts............

While not wishing to piss you off could I respectfully suggest you read what I and others have posted here and read the other 'barrel'/'ignition switch'/'steering lock' posts on this and the other forum I linked you to.

The idea is to benefit from the hard earned experience of others before launching off into the dark and often expensive journeys of discovery.

All the best
