Just a thought. I dont plan to use additional items.

Thanks for the weight saving idea. We do plan to compress the layout after some other chassis decisions are finalized, and we may lose the stud at that point.
However, I am pretty sure the DIN Block is required per <R57>.
EDIT: also I am pretty sure that wiring 40A circuit returns to the smaller breaker panel is not allowed.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
