People; I respect and admire Dave for what he knows and what he does.
Sometimes I wonder why we have never met at Bonneville. Now I have an idea.
Dave would run screaming (or laughing) away from my car. I don't do splices
or taps but 3 of 4 hundred $, not me. I got my wire from home depot. One

wires pass through the firewall or rear bulkhead. All switches are surplus
from scrap aircraft test stands. Battery cables are surplus from TV power
cables pulled in to the GOP convention in SF back in the '70s. Great stuff
and they couldn't be bothered picking up the 8 and 10 ft. leftovers.
Yeah it's cheap, and I don't have many things to run, but check it out if
you get the chance. I like it.  Rich
