Thanks Björn,

The one that I first received was in horrible physical shape and I asked for a replacement and the gentlemen on Ebay obliged for the cost of postage.

I additionally added reverse polarity protection internally with a 3A diode from Pin 1 and the center pin of the 5 pin regulator (Ithink) next to it.

One addl. note:
The only thing that people must remember is to unbolt the "L" mount clamp which bolted through the central divider, to remove the top small board. Otherwise they will detatch the 3 pin temp. sensor.
