How did you like the tuning plates?

it seemed to cook even but I have not put a meter to it yet to do a side to side comparison . I got to buy a big drill bit to put the probe hole in with the NM/SE connector I want to use and dang them bits are expensive at $45 so I haft to wait till this weekend to do a test but will post results .

got some more mods done today , bought a 1/2" Service entrance water tight cable connector to feed my probe wire through and some tires that will actually roll on gravel .

Gampak 1/2" SE Connector from Ace Hardware , locknut to hold connector , I bought a different grommet for the inside that had a smaller inside diameter and a 7/8" metal hole saw bit to cut the hole .

you can see the different size in the grommet that I put in

wheels that will actually roll , them metal ones suck . I also bought 5/8" round clamp nuts to secure the wheels since the plastic caps broke when I took them off .
