Kevin, the problem I am having is that I leave some solder globs here and there and cannot get it to flow down smooth in some places. I am using flux, even going back and putting new flux on the globs and then hitting them with the iron again. I can't figure out how GEC gets such good solder connections on his overhead wiring towers. I'm having to carve some of the globbiness off with a hobby knife, and a little bit of sanding.
biL, I'm glad I decided to make the change and fix the ballast retainer height. The difference between the proto bridge and the model was obvious, even losing some of the flavor of the real thing.
