Re: 1726 Electric Problem

Jim,
I hate to say it but... This is a great photo of the damage done by loose wires and high current. Note the melted copper on one or two of the strands. This is why I recommend folding over the #6 before insertion (see my earlier post). It then fills the hole in the block and makes the screw a more effective clamp.
Jim, may I use this photo in my electrical presentation for the Championship?
