Getting ready for grid tie-in. 10/21/07

Have been gathering up hardware for grid tie-in. Got time this weekend to do a little work. Had to start by finding the right spot for the plug. I had thought about one of those flip down license plates from you-remember-when; but that wasn't going to work like I wanted it too. The plate spring contraption that I found, was just to stiff for a plastic bumper. I decided to just remove the plate, and get it out of the way, when the cord is plugged in. This pic has a shot of the hole plug that I plan on using for wiring entry into the interior. There will be a watertight twist-lock plug just behind the license plate, and flexible conduit over to where the hole is in the rear panel. Also, but not very detailed in the photo, are the receptacles for the quarter turn fasteners that hold the plate on.
