• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Lever locks

Watching Lamonster videos he shows lever lock terminals that you can use for both + & -
e g on a 5 terminal one you can put 5 + wires on one side and 5 - on the other side, So useful for adding accessories

See his video at 2min 40sec’s where he explains them

I can only find connectors that you use for either + terminals or for - terminals i,e Wago

Does anyone have a link to the ones Lamonster uses or knows what those are called so I can search to see if they are available in the UK

The leverlocks are fantastic! You have to use one per connection and the wires only go in one side. In other words, you put in your source wire in one hole and the rest of the holes are connections to that same source. Example, one for hot and one for ground.
He provides them free on all the accessories you buy that need those kinds of connections. :yes:

use for many things

I liked them so much I ordered a number of them and use them in place of twist locks when I replace light switches and outlets. I have also some of the five lever ones up a distribution points under the service panel on the left side of my F3. One for switched 12 VDC, One for continually hot 12 VDC and one for ground. I've run all my accessories to them and labelled the wiring to make trouble shooting easier. I detest electrical trouble shooting on cars and bikes where you have no isolation points for testing.
 

Thanks IGETAROUND
The one’s I could find are as in my original picture
I can source these ok in the UK
I believe these only allow either a Negitave input to allow Negitave outputs and if you want Positive inputs/Outputs you have to use another Lever Lock block
See photo:-

What I’m after is just one Lever Lock bloc .that allows both Positive & Negitave Inputs/Outputs
Lamonster shows a 10 input lever Lock blockwith 5 Inputs/Outputs for the Positive side & 5 Inputs/Outputs. for the Negitave side ensuring the cannot make contact between them
This will cut down the number of Lever Lock blocks needed Knowing space can be limited on a RT, Failing that I could just glue separate Lever Locks blocks together
Again thanks for the information as it’s still of use
