Brief Description:  Ignition Buss

I got back to working the ignition buss bar and wiring. I started by modifying the buss bar. I put a bend in the center of the buss bar which changed the geometry and gave a lot more clearance for the starter switch terminals. The bend hardly changed the hole distance of the CB's having to also bend the outer portion of the buss bar as well. I then drilled my holes for the buss wires to attach and trimmed the buss bar length on each end and attached the buss bar to the breakers.

I removed the 14AWG wire that I had placed on Fuse Block Buss A and switched to two 16 AWG wires that I connected one to Fuse Buss A and Fuse Buss B. This little Fuse Block has 3 Busses....Buss A - Buss B - and Hot Buss. The Hot Buss has 4 fuse positions and the Buss A & B have a total of 20 fuse positions.

So I made up the wires with ring terminals and attached one each to Buss A & B. I put spiral wrap on each wire for additional protection and ran them up through a grommet and to the underside of the right console panel where they will attach to the Ignition Buss Bar.
