Hello,  I'm new here.  I've started a 601xl QBK (May 2, 2006) and have 

the engine on - a Jabiru 3300.  I'm getting close to wiring up a lot of 

things and need to find a good block of ground studs or terminals for 

grounding stuff in the engine compartment and the cockpit.  Does anyone 

know where I can find a grounding block with 20 or so terminals for 

sale, or plans to make one?  I like reading the postings.  They are very 

helpful.

Brad, not much to making such a ground buss bar. Buy a copper tube; length depends on ground points you want. Gently pound a piece flat with rubber hammer. Drill holes about 3/4 inch apart, install flat head screws counter sunk with two nuts on face. Find a good place and mount it. Best of Luck, Bill  [quote][b]

20 or thirty terminals...Wow.



You can attach up to three wires on each terminal.  Grounds will generally

be grounded to the frame of the plane... I guess the engine mount is a good

place.  Be sure to install good heavy braids across the engine mount to give

the engine a good ground.  Otherwise you may have problems with your

charging system and your starter.  You can use ring terminals that go

through the bolts that hold your engine mount in place that will give you 12

places to ground your panel .... Panel supports are another good place to

attach grounds.  If you really want to use terminal blocks ( they do look

clean) then try a ham shack.

Brad:

I bought a spade grounding block from AeroElectric. It worked really 

well, and looks nice too. Also in the picture is my handiest tool of the 

whole build.  I put nylon webbing around the jaws of  6 inch vise-grip 

pliers with zip ties. We used them on almost every step.

Fred,



Very nice work on the wiring.  Very neat and clean.  I also have that tool

and a dremel which has been a real handing tool as well.
