Did some more stuff to the ramp this weekend.
In between working on cars, I've been starting to install some strip lights down the side. That's still work in progress, but this weekend just gone, with Lisa's help and following @confused's brilliant suggestion, I did something else;

:lol:
(It is also functional though)

That's 2x 5m strips of 5630 white LEDs.
For info, it was these ones that I bought Along with 2x 12v 72W PSU's from the same seller.
It comes with double sided tape on the back, which needed a really thorough de-grease AND then brake/electro clean of the ramp first, to get it to stick. The corners also need a helping hand from cable ties of course!

I'm not sure how long the adhesive tape will hold up to being occasionally dowsed in anti-freeze, oil, grease, power steering fluid and LHM etc, but we'll see...

A handy existing pair of holes mean it's easy to get the low voltage connectors and cables fed through and out;

I thought it was so cool, I must admit that I got a bit carried away with taking pics :oops: :lol:

Excellent :D

Would you consider drilling and tapping to fit some P-clips or even just a small piece of flat to hold the LED strip in position?
