He's put a group switch in as a normal wall switch

>>1162276
have you joined together cables in an over head light fitting? what the fuck why not just use wire connectors

That's the thing, I don't photograph my bootleg shit. I keep them in the back of my mind, little anecdotes of stupid shit that worked when I needed it to
>use hood release cable to tie exhaust up in a 7 eleven parking lot at 3am
>drilling a set screw out on a spring that still had tension, drill through shaft and leave drill bit in as a set screw/roll pin until replacement
>putting a Sawzall in a vise with the trigger tied down as a makeshift bandsaw
>using an F550 and a curb as a sheet metal brake

>group switch
