Brief Description:  Shunt wires and battery bus wire fab

My crimper from steinair came in along with some more ring terminals for #8 wire. I decided to re do the two crimps I did earlier and soldered with plain crimp with a tool made for the job. I crimped on the ring terminals for the wire from switch panel to the Shunt bar and then from shunt to the master relay. The bootes were installed as well as the shrink tube.
Supported the wire under battery tray with a cushion clamp. The machene screw was counter sunk on top side of tray to protect the battery.
Thge wire lead from the hot battery bus under front bulkhead is for the 2nd aux power plug and a clock and a usb port. These items I want hot at all times for conveinince. the clock shouldnt run the battery down Im told and the others will just need to be unplugged to preserve battery. If this poses a problem later, Ill add a on off switch too. I installed a inline fuse from battery side of master relay and butt spliced to the 14awg wire going to batt buss. wrapped the bundle in spiral wrap and support with cushion clamp of battery brace point. The fuse is 7.5 amp.
