    thanks for the replies. i have all the led bulbs and resistors got so i dont think i will be going to buy more pre wired stuff. there are over 20 lights to go on this yoke so it kinda has to be custom made
    thanks

    Sean: Don't know who is nearest your location ...
    I'd consider Peats, Maplin and Greenhobbymodel for a start.
    If you are in a distant location from those, you might call into a local electrical/radio-TV repair shop?
