    I think it was a piece of steal used to support hanging folders in a file cabinet. Just something from my scrap drawer. :) See post #3. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=95783

    A remote flush mount insulated lug could be used instead of using your hot post on your solenoid to draw accessory power from - you just lead a single hot cable to it - personally I would add a secondary fuse/circuit box for drawing accessory power from - here is one below on Ebay :)

    I was planning on running a GM type starter (high torque mini starter) to eliminate the solenoid.

    Ron Francis sells a buss.

    If you want a great selection of power distribution parts, check out VTE warehouse: https://www.vtewarehouse.com/

    Prices are hard to beat, also.
