The first picture shows the labels prior to being cut out. After cutting, I darkend all the edges with a permanent marker. The second picture shows the painting rework of the remaining panel hardware. The third and fourth picture show the rework of one of the contactors. The contactors I bought are very reliable and cheap, but they draw about an amp. For the ground contactor, this is not a problem as it is only on for a short time and only with external power connected. For the battery contactor however, the contactor itself is using about 1/20 of my limited alternator power. There is a much nicer continuous duty contactor available but it usually costs about five times what I paid for the one shown in picture three. I was able to get one for about double the price of the one I took out so I got it and installed it. It draws 3 amps for about 100 ms then draws only .12 amps. Worth the price to me. |
