FWIW:
Things I have done that worked and did not kill anyone, but may not be best
practice:
1. Made gruntier external power supply for Drake L-4. Used the original
large Jones plug, ran the HT in heavy ignition wire, strapped this wire with
standard cable ties to the other conductors going between amp and power
supply. Reasoning is that the bundle of wire would not be easliy crushed or
pinched.
2. HT lead between homebrew 4-1000 amp and external power supply. Again
used ignition wire, protected with clear polythene tube available fro most
hardware suppliers. Poly tube secured with clamps to chassis at each end.
idea was to protect cable and provide extra insulation.
