Tall breakers
Dave,
Yes, it is a tight clearance. Without the sidewall in place, there is clearance, but it is close. I just double checked my part numbers, and it looks like I did order the tall ones...dammit. I ordered the 3TC7, not 3TC2!!!! Looks like I will be ordering those 3TC2 breakers today!!!! That should give me an extra 0.5".
Thanks for questioning me on that. When I fit it over the weekend, I was not happy with the clearance, but felt once the sidewall panel was it, it would give me some more...but if I can put in lower profile CB's, that is much better in the long run.
Yes, I am doing a dedicated Avionics Bus - the lower row (RH side of picture) will be the avionics bus, controlled by a Avionics master in the panel.
After seeing your pictures of the old CB panel, I looked at mine and could not believe how bad it was. Some smoke was definitely let out of that one wire on mine - not to mention the crappy aluminum bus bar...barely rated for the Skymaster system.
