Title: Trying to get a choke to fit in the crack
Post by: crackuser on September 20, 2011, 08:26:01 AM

I am having a hard time trying to get this choke to fit between the first and second capacitors. I have tried up and down, sideways, diagonal and nothing works. How are you guys getting them to fit? I even took a picture to show one of these dang chokes that just wont fit.

Well I see your problem, it has too many leads.  You are going to have to sort that out before trying to squeeze it under the hood. 

I would suggest some top plate bracing when you get to the last step.
