Its a 1971 ford pinto.. :D but when we g to get this metered we will experiment with it, but the whole reason it was built that way was for the port to be within the seats.

Whats with the first picture of the threaded rod with nuts and washers?

Box looks nice, do you have a pic of it finished?

finished.


the threaded rod and nuts are the terminals. munki didnt want the wire running through the port. so i just used those.

box looks good, bro. I like the way you smoothed out the outside edges of the port. Not bad

The bolts are actually a pretty good idea. As long as the metal is a good conductor. But I have no idea about that.

I havent seen a big problem with them. Its just what i had laying around. if you decide to do the same thing i highly suggest finding a place that sells copper threaded rods, etc. I dont like having a static amount of wire. I never liked the idea of running a hole through the box for the wire
