I mean all I would say is I would pull them out and wrap them good-n-plenty with electrical tape, or paint them with Glyptal, but that's all I would do. You are strettttttching the very last possible life out of a very old, obsolete and dangerous panel that should have been replaced in the 90s, part and parcel of that is that kind of tacky compromise. | |

| Jun 13, 2019 at 0:51 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @cadobe You can't. First, that would put more than 6 throws in the Rule of Six area, and second, those breakers are not bussed that way. They won't take their power from that bus. | |
