Larry, thanks, lots of useful stuff there..one more thing if you can all stand
it, is it best to drill straight through the canopy into and through the frame
tubes, or drill through the plexi and just enough to mark the tubes, then take
the canopy off and finish drilling the holes in the frame?

Roy,

I would just mark it and then drill the steel with a good metal bit, If you
could control the speed that the metal bit went into the plexi, then you
could drill it all at once. The bit tends to grab and screw it into the
plexi. That is when you really stand a change if a break.

Regards
Larry

I am wiring up the panel and wonder what keeps the screws on the
switches and breakers from coming loose. The switch/breaker screws have
flat washers at best and some of the switches don't even have washers,
leave alone lock washers or lock nuts. Is it best to put these in with a
thread locking compound, or is there a better way?
