Working on the MDC shay

[ray_m]

For the front, two 1/16" holes were drilled at 45 degree angles till they met.

   

Then I drilled a 1/8" hole from the bottom to meet them, then milled passages for the wires on the bottom.

   

I added extra insulation to the wire to prevent accidental grounding on the boiler.

   

The wires were fed through and the assembly was glued in place.

   

This shows the wires glued into the passages.
