[jbeckva]

Where'd the guts go?

All gone.. sniff.. and that wirin was purdy good too... hehe

Stopping for the night.. should have it done this weekend.

 

[laatsch55]

[Skynyrd77]

Bare bones there!

 

[jbeckva]

Yep that's why ya sent me a D. I'll ship 'er to ya, or my series I could use one either way.. lmk

 

[laatsch55]

No, no need for that, it looked like a C , just confirming....

 

[jbeckva]

Going to need to relocate those caps clamps and all further "down" and "in" on the one near the three fuses. Hopefully can cover the old holes somewhat.

 

[laatsch55]

Does the cap touch the meter?

Yup

Jer - how about making an adapter plate from something like 0.125" alumimum. You can rotate the clamps add holes to the plate to match the existing chassis holes, counter sink the plate and bring fasteners from the backside to attach the clamp and caps to the plate - then install the plate. No new holes required.

Nav this aint at ya!!!

LOL seriously I didn't think about your reply when I filmed this. I dunno why but it felt "right" at the time LOL ... Sent this to Lee cause it looks like the clamps are quite TIGHT and needed his opinion (and a good laugh while at it.. heheh)

Love ya Lee Dude!!!!!!

But yeah that'd be a great idea 'cept as I told Lee I seriously lack any tools or equipment for that task. Great idea tho!

I think I can manage with them cap clamps... they'll hold the new guys.

Hell yes, the clamp bolt will have to havea pretty good arc in it....

 

[jbeckva]

I for some reason have zero room on the top clamp... dang caps hittin the fuses! Yeah I need some angle iron fast!

 

[laatsch55]

Home depot has a selection of angle aluminum and iron...

 

[laatsch55]

I built some brackets on Ken Nelson'ds 400 thread....

 

[jbeckva]

I built some too.. see-Lee?

I don't know what it is with this one but seems stuff just doesn't quite "fit" as it seems to be a very early model (check me Joe). Anywhoo.. these brackets ought to serve good as supports for the caps to sit on as we'll be "strapping" em in for the ride.

It is a lot easier to use the clamp kits provided and make a new bus bar.
