    I now remember seeing that video.

    I would still get rid of the charging lock out and the charging receptacle and simply use the P3648 charger.

    the dc house and eco worthy are exactly the same size. must be the same mfg, or they are made to the same spec.
    dc house is listed as a bit longer because of the brackets he cuts off. one less thing to do with the eco worthy.

    I just saw your earlier post on the company and size :cool:

    he uses reducing studs from M8 to M6 because of the eyelet size, an elegant solution

    The only difference seems to be the ?start=354 at the end of bisco's link.

    Shouldn't that just be ?t=354

    If I remember right, youtube will also accept the slightly more human-readable form ?t=5m54s

    The better solution is to enlarge the hole to 8mm with a round file. The soft copper lug is easy to enlarge,

    More connections mean more chances to fail due to heating form increased resistance.

    The adapter might bottom out and also cause a loose connection.
