Re: Spikes

first to wire them up, look at the spike. you will see four metal slits for crimps to go. OK look at the symbol and the letter. if there is a -M that means this go to the wire of the negative side of your component or motor. and then +m for the positive side. then on the other side of the spike there is a 12v. this 12v goes to the positive side of the circuit board and the last slit goes to the negative side of the circuit board. that is how you wire that up.

second yes you do get the spike in the kit of parts.
