buss bar diagram

I was thinking about this to save on some wire (took notes on the hoopty build and thought Steve's idea was dope) but something doesn't seem right or am I just that tired?

same thing with the grounds minus the fuse blocks

id be using 1/4" x 1-1/2" x undecided length aluminum with stainless bolts.

anyone?

everything connects to the buss bar.

1/4" x 1 1/2" is good for roughly 4-5krms.

anymore than that I'd go thicker

thanks Ray. i guess it will work for the time being. now to try to find thicker aluminum. or would there be any difference if i used copper instead?

[chevyhoe08]

well copper is always better but u have to keep cleaning it every so often. either choice is good just make sure is thick.

[flashlight_65]

after looking at the difference in price between copper and aluminum i think I'll try to find thicker aluminum (2" x 1/2" x undecided) or just use 1/0 instead

[flashlight_65]

could i double up the pieces to make it thicker or would that mess up the current flow mojo?

how much power are you pulling?

I like using 1 1/2 x 3/4"

Can pretty much handle anything i throw at it.
