Hi BudThx. for the reply."I always run the power and ground from the battery, under the door sill, then through the panel via 5/16 brass studs for firewall interface." Do you just drill a 5/16" hole through firewall and sandwich terminals going to fat wires on top of firewall? At least put wide area washers on top of firewall? Or?Ron Parigoris [quote][b]

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Exactly right. Use large brass washers or stainless against the fiberglass, then nuts on both sides, then the terminal(s), lock washers and plain brass nuts if you like or star washers to assure the nuts are tight. Cover with a rubber ducky.

Agree,
Note that the extra nuts are important so that connection doesn't loosen as the fiberglass relaxes under pressure, which it will.
