Looking really good. Any updates? Have they been turned on yet. Numbers out on them yet. Would love to hear all about them.
 
Ok guys Mike been doing all the up dates for this build but I thought I should do this one. I'm one of these builders who will sit back and think about all diffent ways to do things before just jumping in and with this build I've been give some big hills to climb LOL when you have heatsinks that piviot the normal frame work is out the window to say. To over come this problem I came up with a box design that give me a place to mount the piviot brackets and also give me place to install drivers, fuses,resistors wiring and so on, here's some pic's of box constuction
First shot gives you alook at frame work to support piviot brackets hidden within box

Ok well as I said before more to come today well here you go, with a box now built it's time to start mounting the piviot brackets. I first had to drill and tap frame
