    Hey Larry!

    Why don't you use NL8 connections for your internal wiring if you are going external, or better yet -

    Ah, sorry - I saw the Molex on the layout and was curious...

    NL8s are incredible! :)

    I feel it needs repeating once more - those caps are enormous!

    Great work, Trey.

    I think the MR caps will provide you a pretty substantial upgrade. PTP in theory should not gain you too much...

    Man wiring that up was a tight fit! The molex connections are recessed into the Delrin, individual holes drilled, wiring soldered up to the delrin and then a bead of hot glue around to secure, extremely strong mount, IMO
