Oh ya, minor details. I took a picture. Let me find it.

You'll have to remove the capacitor and add the tape like this:


The holes are about 5/8 inch diameter. Without the kapton tape (that tape can withstand around 15000 volts), the metal things on the capacitor will almost be touching the B+ copper sheet. I forgot to include that when I put yours "sort of together".

You also have to drill the 4 holes to connect the capacitor to the enclosure, and also the 4 holes for the dc-dc that gets mounted to the inside top of the controller. What can I say, I was in a rush to mail it! haha.
