REFLECTOR: Electrical system - basic components

[Patrick Sieders]

Reiff,

I have been working on my elec. System. I would certainly plan on paper first, and work through every possible scenario. The more components, the higher the difficulty.

Are you, and/or others, planning to attach it right to the bulkhead, or you fabricate a simple panel?

Gr. Patrick

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!
