Hmmm, I've never heard of this before but then again i don't know jack about ACTUALLY completely wiring a vehicle other than what i've read....but i've read a LOT about it because i havent yet. Good advice

I have a few pics for reference.....
Pleased post the pictures. I'm curious to see how this would work. Mentally, I'm picturing a bus bar in a house electrical box....on a smaller scale i suppose.
