    Very impressive... what should be done on a bus? Apart from visual inspection and Tighten connections?

      A regular tightening schedule and termination inspection should keep you safe.

        And a coating of some kind of dielectric grease to keep out oxygen and moisture.

          Neil... is that a pic you took on someone's boat or a pic sent to you?
          I'm impressed that the nut is still glowing red. 😬

            Wow!

            I cannot print the words that fell out of my mouth when I saw that picture.

            That could be used to light your cigar!

              Not a picture I took. It was on a "People are Stupid" click-bait story I read this morning.

                Well, at least that nut is now fully annealed.
                Thanks,
