Don't buy anything until you visited Mendelsons in downtown Dayton.
They have most of the stuff at pennies on the dollar.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Electrical system - basic components

I'm starting work on the electrical system. I could use some recommendations on what to purchase (or how to make) these items and where you installed them:


·         Main bus

·         Main ground block

·         Firewall ground block

·         Avionics ground

I'm going to use the Vertical Power system for switching & circuit breakers so a combination bus/CB system won't be necessary. Should I just buy some copper bar and drill screw-holes in it? Is there a good, basic bus product that works well? Where did you mount it and how did you protect the power buses from accidental grounding?

Thanks!
