OK, I don't know 77 Whiting, but there are several auto and metalwork places along there. You should also try Curry Lane and Sawyer lane that run parallel to Whiting and Dickson St; many places have their dumpsters out the back in the side lanes. There is a large drive-in complex on the corner of Herbert & Frederick st, Opposite a holden car yard. They have heaps of dumpsters and in the past I have found useful computer and electronics parts there. At the other end of Frederick St and Reserve Rd, there is a new complex that might be worth checking out.

Cut to size doesn't have a bin outhe front, but they back onto curry lane (I think) - I might have to visit them myself... There is another interesting place across from Cut to Size - CBC bearings. They do some auto repairs and might have interesting parts in their bin.

Some other places in that area:

A.G.A. Engineering
40 Hotham Pde
Artarmon

A.I.S. Engineering
24 MacMahon St
Willoughby

I'll print you out a manual for the IBC before I send it and I'll also tag the AUX switching leads so you know which is which Wink

Your cheque arrived today Nick. Congrats, your an owner of a IBC. It will be bundled up into a Express Post pack today and sent out. Expect it tomorrow Wink

I've included a IBC 1.0v manual, some markings on the 12v AUX switching for powering relays, and the 6-pin plug I'll attach a wiring diagram to. I hope you have as much fun as I had with the IBC Cool
