    Thanks for your response.

    So i will buy tie rods even if it very expensive!!

    I have 2 another questions... :uups:

    It is very important to put a kill switch?

    If yes it is possible to put the kill swith before the power supply instead of before the iks pin (like in this picture)?

    I would not buy any of those 2 power supplies unless you have a cabinet (the industrial kind) to put them in. I think those are supposed to be on rails in such cabinets. If you get 2 power supplies that are the type use for laptops (with the required volts/amps) you can cut one end and make your connections. They you don't have to worry about electrocuting yourself.

    A killswitch is technically not required to have the seat working. But it's a good idea in case something happens. You decide what it's worth to you.

    The power supplies that you have shown ARE good options because the provide over-voltage protection. Mr. Burns suggestion of a laptop power-supply is a mistake in my opinion because laptop power supplies do NOT provide overvoltage protection. The SCN5's are known to be susceptible to voltage variations. I would highly suggest the 24V 4.5amp option that you listed.

    :cheers:

    The schematic above is an old one btw.

    It lacks the 27V zener diode for additional overvoltage protection. The PSU built-in ovp is not reliable enough for SCN5s...
