There just some aluminum tubing with music wire for the cooling pipes and the electrical taps. Also some .05 styrene as a band around the top and bottom. I tried to make older looking X-formers as opposed to the ones in the pic. The darker colored one on the prototype is from the early 80's and the other 2 were installed that day (about 2 years ago) after the high voltage shed flooded causing the switch gear to explode and catch fire. We replaced that and built the new -L- shaped rack that brings the 480 volt feed into the switchgear. the old flat rack can be seen leaning against the building. It was a good week for OT.
