Looks good, I have got an inner tube on mine, but I think it is a bit tight as it causes the switch to play up now and again. Might have to rethink it slightly.
Thanks Iggy

hey iggy - have you tried it with rubber off the PP? - I would only do this if the inner tube is water tight at both ends - the PP rubber goes off/on easy, so no worries there - I am sure you will get it sussed

Thanks for the tip. I have got her wrapped in duct tape including speaker holes, plus the inner tube over the lot. I think everything is just a bit tight around the switch.
Cheers Iggy
