Don:

The wire from the sensing resistor does not fit in the circuit board hole
provided.

I save the clipped leads from the 1N4007 diodes to use for all of the
jumpers on the boards (grounds, options, ect.) they are about .030 or 22 GA
and work well. I would not use enameled wire because of the problems of
stripping and getting a good solder joint. If you want an even heaver wire
for Z1 then save the wire clipped from the .005 ohm current sensing
resistor.

Hello to the fellow builders,
after all these toroids...
Would a piece of #22 enameled wire be good enough as a basis - there
are
warnings not to use small component leads. #22 wire might be a bit
small for
20A?
