    I've looked at Bud's design before (props btw!), and it's something I might consider for my next run but I was hoping to have something more "out of the box" for now.
    130591386004 is the one I have. It's £3 more now than when I purchased one. No hum, but you do have to wire it up yourself.

    That is correct.

    The one I posted was for a 1.5 amp, whereas Chew's one was for a 2.2 amp (no 1.5 amp available)

    Recieved today, quite impressed seems pretty solidly built.

    Has anyone got a wiring diagram? Do I need to take an old kettle lead or something and cut it to provide the power in?

    Found the wiring diagram in case anyone else orders one:

    *Links to selling sites removed.*

    Instead of cutting my fan cable in half (don't want to unplug it whilst I'm building this), can I wire an extension cable into it instead? Then simply plug the fan into that?
