Surley some one has thought of this. I have a pile of them at work and have been trying to come up with a use for them.. Any help on this would be awsome it's just a shame to send these 500 and 600 amp alts to the scrap yard. Helll ill give a few of them to anybody that can solve this problem. [/QUOTE]
