How to make your own distro?

[woody89 10+ year member]

I noticed a lot of competitors just use a metal plate for I am assuming a distro? Since most run multiple runs of wire. My question is, how would you mount this down to the car? Obivsouly putting it on the frame of the car would equal bad news. I never really looked at how they were mounted/ put together, so I have to ask.

think they would mount it to a block of wood, that is bolted to something. (probably the car)

I was thinking wood, but just asking to see what the most people did.

Lexan works well, and looks good too! Use a 1/4" X 1" piece of Copper Buss bar from Your local Electric supplier, get some plastic washers from Your local Hardware store for offsets and your golden! Use a thick piece of wood or lexan so you have some meat to screw too.

Good luck!

Why not just go w/ something like the two links below? The multiple buss bar is just like what the other member described making.

Distro Post

The larger 3/8in post has a 1-3/4in long bolt. You could mount multiple ring terminals on that and it's only $4.07 for the black one.

4 Point Buss Bar

This one is $10.69 for the 3/8in terminals.

I just like to do things myself I guess you could say.
