Re: Power Distribution Blocks, buying?

While you are looking for the replacement "yellow thingy" (I don't know the official term either, but I know what you are talking about) you can continue to test your chassis by using a length of wire to connect the addidtional block to your existing blocks. I don't know if this is a tech-inspector approved fix, but so long as you use the appropriate gauge wire and have it should be safe.... assuming, of course, that you have enough free space on the distribution block for an additional couple of connection.

Perhaps you are doing this already... I just hate to see teams lose time while waiting for a part.
