    I would suspect the module on top of the battery. And don’t rule out a loose ground connection to the battery. I had this, it would not...

    The band saw I used was also pretty wide (made for woodworking). The profile can be made with it. Some parts need the chisel, like the...

    I used a drill and chisel. The rubber is very easy to cut. The circular hole on the back was the hardest. I drilled out the shape and...

    I’ve got one with a 85mm low point indeed. When you remove the puck, it just about fits. So that’s why I cut the circular profile in the...

    Nope, sorry. But very easily made. Just buy rubber blocks (I think I paid 30/piece) and use a band saw to cut out the profile. I made...
