After getting my semi-annual flight physical I went to the Battery Plus store in town. The guy there offered to let me use the crimping tool to connect the terminal lugs on my big power cables. After I returned home I finished up shrinking the tubing and gave the positive power cable a test fit. I next moved onto trying to figure out how to get power to the circuit breakers. A 6 AWG wire will come from the battery relay; this is the main power feed. The top two rows are main power items and the bottom row is what I call essential items. I made a new bus bar for the top row with bend in it but did not like how it was going to work. It is a bit of a puzzle because the main power feed needs to attach to one of the top tow bus bars and not interfere with other items, and it needs a bit of slack so that the panel can be opened for maintenance.
I finally decided to go back to the first bus bar and bolt a tab to it that the main power wire will connect. This will keep the main wire out of the way of all the other wires that connect to the CBs. In the photo I have temporally bolted just the lug with no wire to the tab I made and clamped the wire that will connect the top row to the bottom. That was it for the day other than the caps I found to fill my spare circuit breaker holes. Also I found out why I was short a 5 amp circuit breaker, I had used it for the safety trim and it only requires a 2 amp breaker so I am all set for breakers.

All the holes are filled, the caps are from Lowes Aircraft supply
