insulating copper bar

[jimgreen]

I'm looking for advice on the best way to insulate the copper bar linking my master relay to the starter relay, and also the relay terminal studs where you can't a rubber boot on. I've checked out lots of builder sites and they generally show the area before insulation is installed. Thanks

Jim,

I put a couple of layers of heatshrink on mine (except the ends of course). If you mess with the rubber boot by cutting or twisting it a bit, usually you can find a way to get it in place enough to protect the terminals.

Thanks Greg, I'll give it another try. I have the B and C relays and they require a twist in the bar, but I guess I should still be able to get the heat shrink on.

hmm

Liquid Electrical Tape?

Heat shrink first.............. then twist.........

Two things work well

Liquid Insullation as mentioned, and I am also big fan of Self Adhesive Silicon Tape. I like it as it remains plyable and can be easily cut off later to access the terminals if needed.
It will work on the bar as well, but I used the heat shrink as others have said.
