A few notes:


I had to assemble/reassemble a few times due to my error and to reposition a leaking gasket.

The plates are perfect and every screw fits its aligned hole.

Thank you SCM!! Your plates are the best!


My first build had 7 and 5 instead of 6 and 6 “E” plates.


Next, under 25 PSI one gasket was too loose and it blew out sideways.



It went together for the 3rd time and only leaked a tiny bit. Submersed in a bucket of water.


A few tightened screws and it stopped leaking.


No electrical problems with the 1/32” Neoprene gaskets.


I ran it for about 5 minutes with 11 Amps @ 14 Volts.


So far, it appears to be running OK.


More to come.

My cell has stainless steel feet which I fabricated. It always has as I knew I was going to mount it in my truck and that I would need a way to bolt it to the base plate, that is also stainless.
