   This has caused me a lot of grief.
   I am not sure who did this as we had
   several people employed at the time it was
   done. At least 4 crimp connection came undone as
   the wrong tool was used to crimp the terminals.

   A real rats nest.

   No advanced planning, schematic  or 3D drawings. (If you are building an
   airplane a 3D drawing program is a HUGE HELP!!!)

   Make sure you space things far enough apart so a socket wrench can be used to tighten
   or loose the nuts holding the CB's and switches.

   I am still trying to clean it up.


   Switches and circuit breakers come with either Phillips or straight slot screws.

   Absolutely and with out a doubt the worst possible solution. You need three
   hands with tiny fingers to assemble the wiring to the switch or CB. One hand to hold
   the wires and another to insert and hold the screw in place and a third to use the screw
   driver to tighten the screw.

   Either Allen screws or small stand offs work 10 to 100 times better.
   The  hex driver or the Allen wrench can do the last two jobs
   If you tape the allen or hex screw to the end of the driver.

   The schematic is still a work in progress.

Hey Paul, If you need some real screws, we have lots of Philips head stuff up hear in Canada! Yes 3D, EAA has free Solidworks with membership!

You are joking of course. I hate them. Nothing but trouble my entire life.
