Thanks, Bob :-)
I will only have 8 or 10 wires to ground in the panel. The section of tab forest
for the panel ground has 20 tabs. I may need to get D-Sub tools, supplies, and
skills for installing my not-yet-bought radio, but that's down the road a bit.
Even if I had the stuff for it, it would only save me a little space, which
surprisingly isn't much of an issue in this particular case.
My ground blocks consist of one 48 tab ground block from B&C cut into three sections.
12 tabs are on the forward side of the firewall, 16 tabs on the rear side
with a bolt and rivet connecting the two blocks. That leaves a 20 tab section
available for the panel ground buss. There's actually no individual grounds
going to the rear side of the firewall, just the single wire from the panel ground
block. I can't think of anything in the future that I would add that I couldn't
ground to the glare shield mounted panel ground buss. So could I eliminate
the rear firewall block completely, and just connect the panel ground block
wire to the big bolt through the firewall?
Since I have 10awg to the main buss, I understand I need a 10awg ground. I would
like to know how soldering this ground wire to a drilled out faston tab of the
panel ground forest might work, or if it's better to use a #10 bolt and ring.
