Went great - works perfectly. Ordered an XMT7100 PID, a thermocouple and an SSR (40da-h). Cost about £30 all-in. I can PM exact items if you want. Also needed some connector spades and old wires but my dad had some lying about.
Biggest issue was working out the wiring diagram as most wires didn’t colour match and then quickly getting the PID set to a reasonable temp (defaults to 710C, was worrying when temp was rocketing past 140 first time I turned it on). I’m now slowly tweaking settings to try and minimise temp from dropping when pulling a shot rather than perfect stability at idle.

how did it go? and what did you have to order from aliexpress to make up the kit?
