Re: Distro block, maxi fuse box, and ground stem

Dez, all that says is that electricity must be isolated from the rest of the system. This could be done with say... the ground wires on the BUSS fuse connector, like my team had up until this thread, or other such things. I dont see how forcing the teams to use lower guage wires (ie, using the distro block ) adds safety.

Up until this, we had straight 6 awg wires running from battery (both terminals) to our fuse boxes, which is easily the safest it can get. Instead, now we need to go to each fuse box with a lonely 10 awg wire, which is going to get a heck of a lot hotter than the 6.
