Got a bit more done on the Insight today.

Meanwell and rectifier are now securely mounted to the aluminum bar I repurposed from the IMA compartment. Used thermal paste to ensure good heat transfer.









Installed a manual kill switch to disable the meanwell when parked/not in use to stop the 100 mA parasitic drain from the unit. It's just a basic marine battery kill switch that I hooked up to the ground connection.

With that all being done I built up the driver's side and got it ready for laying down board and carpet. Just have two more sections of foam board to install and then it'll be ready to lay down the plywood.
