Brief Description:  Electrical Bay - wiring bus feeds

In the last episode I routed the six bus wires through their general routing locations to the Fuse Bay and Circuit Breaker panel.

Today I spent the time printing labels and putting the various terminals on the ends. I then tried various wire pairings between the master and starter contactors that would provide power to the busses. No single lug could handle all the terminals. I finally sorted out which wires are going off the master, starter, and current limiter block. Only one terminal was going to the "HOT" side of the master contactor and that was the Battery Bus in the fuse block. It has room for four connections but I currently only have need for one which is for the chronometer.

I glued a piece of rubber channel on the edge between the adel clamps that will hold all the bus wires just to provide extra protection for the wire between the clamps. I installed the clamps to end the work session.
