Don't be confused. It works either way. There is no right way or wrong way. I find it easier to have the legs come out the bottom (the wire lays flat when you go to wrap them around the terminals). I'd be guessing but I'd say 95% of the people have them coming out the bottom (based on the multitudes of photos I have seen across ECF). If JohnDO has a reason why he comes over the top then I believe him. Personally, shorting has never been a problem for me.Interesting Bronze. You say make the legs come out the bottom (to be honest, I was just glad to get it situated and never even noticed the legs were on the top), yet JohnDo congratulated me on having the legs on the top? Sir Rod is confused. Yes he is!
