Hi All,
I had to replace that whole Panel with a pass bus panel.
because of rust on my 85.
Everything had rust. even the reinforcing bar.
I wont be re - installing them.
I always refilled the water from the inside anyway.
If I need Electricity, I'll crack a window
& bring it in.
best,
John C..
SLC, UT...
