Re: pic: 931 Preliminary Electrical Layout

Richard,
Looks really cool, nice job! I would eliminate the ground stud and return the negative leads directly to the distro block. You save some weight in #6 and crimp on connectors and lower the series resistance, not to mention a single point failure if the stud hardware loosens.
How do you like the crimper and the Power Poles so far? We add a touch of solder to the connector just to be sure, before assembly. They crimp on the #12 Chalupa leads OK as well, but again a touch of solder just to be sure.
