MoN. Everything in that picture, as is, gets pushed into the hole in the grounding plate, from above. The nylon washer and contact screw are then screwed in from the other side. (i know i'm being redundant)

To translate into car terms for myself, Pdib made a muscle car that is pretty impressive for the money... But is ready for the aftermarket exhaust system, suspension and power adders.
I knew it was the right call to get on the list!

That all makes sense to me. Was just playing around today. More in an effort to keep from melting my reo spring as I am preferring lower and lower ohm coils as I progress. Enjoy tinkering too. Not trying to "fix" anything really, more just play and prevent me from melting my reo
I built a 400 hp turbo crx for drag racing lol it was fun but not very competitive. I like your analogy
Or, instead of cheap lifters that just wear out, he put high quality lifters that require adjustment to keep in peak performance.
So, with the REO spring, it doesn't get tricky until you try to maintain or substitute for the safety element of the hot spring. I'm a big advocate of folks knowing what they're doing before choosing to skip an element of safety. It's a knowledge that needs translate to gut level, IMHO. It's one thing to understand what makes a relatively safe, reliable battery and why. It's another to know that if your mod isn't firing, it doesn't mean that you should stand on the button until it does. (It might just mean you have a hard short and your battery is approaching thermal runaway as you keep holding that button down.)

A modder's mod huh?
I removed the spring and put a plastic spring I had in and this confirmed that the spring was needed for a current path, at least in stock configuration.
I took a contact from a relay I had laying around and trapped the non contact end under the 510 nut.
Then I realized that it would require taking the dremel to the body for it to clear.
So I mustered the courage to lay Isaac on the alter.
I had taken my inital voltage drop reading with an SX30, however now an SX30 was too long to do comparison checking with.
So I used an AW to take a reading, removed the contact and took another reading. .06V more voltage drop with the added contact? Had an idea what might be going on and took a piece of the contact I had cut off that wouldn't be long enough to go to the battery and inserted it under the 510 nut. Suspicion confirmed, I lost good contact from the 510 to the plate due to the narrow contact being the only real connection between the two. That is all the time I have today since I have a very large print to estimate that has to be done this weekend, but I will try to find a contact that is large enough on the non contact end to go around the 510 so the nut seats all the way around another day. Which leads to another problem, I couldn't get the brass nut off the center pin due to the CA applied that went down into the threads. I will have to find some thin nuts to wedge together on the center pin so I can hold it firmly while trying to get the brass nut loose.
That is very much like what I was thinking when this topic came up . . . I got too busy to mention it, but I was thinking "teletype key." Looks as if you've already started on it.
Oh, you know what I was gonna mention . . . . with this Mundy strip, and where to cinch it . . . . .. . nowhere. If it's attached to the contact, the other end of the strip could just as well be hangin' out the side of the mod, just so long as it's getting pinched between the body and the grounding plate.
Now that I got a taste of the better conductivity, I'm going to move forward with the fuse mod. I do like not melting my face off
She could get a pony like I've got for my avatar, then she'd be ready for the Dibi!

Reminds me of the saying we had back in the day when I was into racing:
Fast
Cheap
Reliable
Pick 2
Hey, sit on my pony and I'll show you my Dibi wood.
*THUNKS Filthy-Beast over the head with my purse (full of bricks)!!*. NOW I know whence the nick came from...
I said nothing filthy, however your mind is the one that went there.

Now that looks like fun
! And you are right... I did fall right into that.

Ummmm...is it still there? Looks hella stuck!
Not with that 9500# winch on front.Ummmm...is it still there? Looks hella stuck!
Here's the scariest one I've done, and why we say adrenaline at 3 mph.
Because here's what happens when you do it wrong.
