Hi,
Does anyone have a pair of the brass power posts required for the GS450h inverter to squirt power in past the IGBT and Coil?
Thanks,
Andy.

I bought some brass stock to make some, and when I finally get to it I have enough for a spare pair... I’ll post back when I make them

I got a good start making the power posts before someone pointed out that brass has much less conductivity than copper (about 1/3)... I'm not sure if I'll continue down that path, as they also pointed out that using readily available aluminum spacers with a longer bolt will be a LOT less work.

Watch out, don’t want to be mixing dissimilar metals, especially for a HV connection. Lots of galvanic corrosion
Copper and aluminum are not a good combo.

Do you know what are the OEM bolts made of? I'm pretty certain they're neither copper OR aluminum, but the buss bars are definitely copper
