I started to remove the tape on my injector harness to wire on new clips. As I did the leads to the dropping resistor started to break off. I've ordered new ones and I'm thinkings of ways to mount them. Would potting them in epoxy resin be a bad ideal? I also thought about mounting them to a sheet of teflon. Any ideas on putting together a diy resistor pack would be much appreciated.

Just curious, which motors used dropping resistors?

I wouldnt pot in epoxy, they need to bleed off heat. I had an SDS system back in the day, and they had a little sheet of aluminum and had everything neatly mounted to it. Not sure where you would hide it but it was about half the size of a paperback book in footprint.

The rb20 came with high impedence injectors, so to run the low impedence gtr injectors you have to wire in the gtr resistor pack or make your own.

Finished making my resistor box and want to know what you guys think about venting the enclosure. Does it need to be? I'm also debating on polishing it and spraying with clear engine enamal or gloss black engine paint. Yeah I'm lame.

Yeah it probably would not hurt to vent it. Looks good though! Nice job.
