Hi,

Check the three phase listing when you want mucho. This listing is like my
way expensive Mennekes plug ebay 270069032762. Finding jacks are harder.
Otherwise, why not just use 240 60 amp welding plugs and jacks though they
don't lock, leave yourself some slack.

I'm not normally a cheapskate, but I have to admit the problem I'm having is
purely price.  I noramlly don't mind spending the $$$ for any of my Tesla
stuff, but yikes!  Seems like a lot of money for what they are.  That would
make the connect the most expensive component in my console - just seems
woronng :-)  I  just was hoping that someone on the list had a stash or kew
of some surplus.  For now I suppose I'll just hard wire it and keep an eye
on eBay.


Thanks everyone for the help.

Curt.

Bend over and take it like a man! Seriously, they're going to cost you a
lot.
I just finisheed my power controller, and paid $160 for the pair....OUCH!
The marine ones I found where well over $200. To add insult to injury,
these are too small for the highest current I intend to run my coil at, 90 +
amps.
