     The power connector is positive on the outside, so I've had to make this reversed polarity connector.

     @Gammitin I use two of these in series for all my cables, just to be sure

     When I was looking at the sellers pictures, the logo stickers didn't look great, but they're immaculate, it's because they're silver, so their lighting mustn't have been great. Ohh this is exciting!

     FYI, I have inspected it and it's in good order, I gave it a full scrub down and clean with Isopropyl, it had what looked like nail varnish on - but it's come up a treat!

     Pretty decent packing job, I think I'd have put a bit on the sides, but hey it's not mangled!
