Hi Sean,

I find that the best way to do it is like this: Cut strips of acrylic,plexi
or whatever, and drill the neccesary holes for the mounting of the strings.
Mount each string seperately, and then bolt a piece of copper bus bar on to
the end. Do this for every string. The string can then be bolted to another
peice of bus bar, and strings can be added or removed as they are reuired /
as they die. It takes a lot of time, but looks fantastic and is very
practical.

I would leave about 5mm (1/4 of an inch) between axial caps, and about 2mm
(1/8 inch) between the cased ones. I would also put bleeders across each
cap - if the single bleeder that you install fails, you dont want to get
bitten!!! With good caps like the geek caps,you want to treat them with
respect!

Best Regards,

Jason
