Default Neeed good reference to help me wire my panel

I want to wire my own panel, but I need a good book or some other instruction to help me know how to do a professional job.

What wire sizes go where. How to crimp on the connectors for the D plugs. How to secure the wire bundles. How much "service loop" to leave.

Anybody know of something like this?

Duane

Default Reference Articles

In addition to grabbing a copy of the AeroElectric Connection like Matt mentioned, check out the reference articles on the http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles.html web site. There is some excellent info there with lots of how-to photos. Great stuff like how to solder big wire terminals, how to deal with crimp-on BNC connectors, etc. This is invaluable stuff if you've never done it before.
