Folks
I'm facing an unexpected problem while installing my gold plated 5 way binding posts( bought from Partsconnexion, Canada) on my crude"chassis" for my 5 channel Hypex amp build. Let me try to explain as clearly as I can:
Each binding post ( which on the inside connects to the amp module and on the outside connects to speaker connectors)has a threaded shaft has two plastic washers, one to be placed on each side to insulate it.When I drilled the holes at the rear, I didnt realise that these are flat washers, and the shaft risks coming into contact with the body and short the speaker connections. If each washer had a small moulded projection that went into the hole that I had drilled-like an insert, and insulated the shaft this problem would not have risen. A few of them have but the majority dont.
The option that I am looking at now, is to go to SP Road and search for "grommet" like mouldings that will fit into the chassis holes, with holes in the centre to allow the binding post shaft to be inserted, and fastened to the chassis.
Any thoughts anyone?
TIA
