Hello Atom,

Thank you again for the pictures. I have a question or too about your mounting plate for your surge protection. Do you remember what size screws that you used ? Did your screws go all the way thru the wall with the black insulation on it ? Or is there some studs in the wall that the screws go into ? I am thinking that wall is about 1/4" thick. Any tips would be a big help.

Thank you for any info,
Al

Hi Al, no problem.

I think I used 1-1/4" self drilling screws. That black steel plate spanned two vertical aluminum studs of the structure that you can feel through the black. (I'm assuming Redwood still constructs that way). I don't actually remember it being wood or solid behind the black plastic which surprised me a bit. Again, the steel plate I used came from the generator floor knockout.
