Default Switchboards Charging No. 5C Mk I Canadian

Working late on a project like this is never a good idea.

This morning, I was reviewing the wiring I had done so far and discovered an 'Oops' in the system. Take a look at the vertical black jumper cable on the far left side. It is installed between the correct two switch terminals, however, for some reason, I ran it directly between said terminals and in the process passed the wire directly over the top of a terminal on the lower switch that had not yet been wired into the circuits. A quick check of the wiring photos I have on hand confirmed the original factory wire in this location actually dog-legged to the left, beyond the switches, in order to clear the backs of both the upper and lower switches. So out went last nights piece of wire and in went a corrected new one. A few more wires later and this work was done.

Out of five, two foot sections each of red and black 10-guage wire I prepped to start with, just one piece of red wire was untouched, and if I had not 'Oopsed' that one black lead I probably would have had a 2-foot spare of it left over as well.

Now all I have to do is flip the switchboard over and run a test of all the circuits and switches to see if they all perform correctly.
