You may find that your Silvia’s insulators are yellow and fragile: be
very careful to not
damage them
. If they are damaged,
you will need to replace them
because leaving an
uninsulated high voltage connector, or conductor, exposed is
bad
. If it were to come in
contact with any of Silvia’s metal, and you are lucky, then you will blow a circuit
breaker. If you are not so lucky, you will get some arcing that generates heat, and finally
results in a fire. If you are even more unlucky, you will get a nasty (maybe lethal) shock
when you also touch some metal. So don’t leave any uninsulated conductors lying
around where they can cause mischief.
In the picture below, the new SSR high voltage power leads are the heavier red wires
with the blue connectors on the ends. The blue connectors have been carefully slid over
the original white insulators.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should you leave any bare wire or any
portion of the metal connectors exposed in this location.
