The board is mounted with industrial strength Velcro and low profile lugs for the relays. No easy way to adjust the pilot yet.

Other than in a couple exceptional cases like motor circuits, #10 copper must be protected by a 30A breaker or smaller. So you did indeed need the #8 copper for your 40A breaker.z0ner said:I replaced my 20A breakers with 40A, swapped the #14 or #16 with #8 (although #10 is ok)

Here is a Version 4.20 board with a 78L05 regulator.
Thanks,

78L05 regulator in a Ver 4.2 board
I installed c16 and c17 for added filtering.
Install a .1 in r22 and c15 (regulator Bypass caps).
Install the regulator in pins 5, 6, 7 with the flat toward the pilot connector.
Bend the input and output pins accress the chip. This connects 4 to 5 and 2 to 7.
That's it. This is a simple mod

You'll probably be able to buy the new enclosure, but it's not going to be inexpensive, judging from the work that has gone into it. Engineering your own enclosure is a good excersize too
Graycenphil said:I've got all the big parts, and am starting to put them together. I need to get a few connectors tomorrow - some big spade connectors f or the 8 ga. wire, and a tiny one for the Ground Fault Coil. I'm hoping Radio Shack sells a connector for that?
As I am studying the wiring connections, I have a silly question. It seems that all the electronics basically serve to turn on the relays. If I just connected my J1772 cable to 240 volts and plugged it into the car, would it charge? If so, what is all the other electronics doing?
Looks great! I really like the new fuse blocks.Graycenphil said:If anyone sees any mistakes or shoddy wiring, pease don't be bashful.
