The first three valves are on 12vdc regulated headers. These are the ones most susceptible to picking up heater hum, and the smooth 12vdc makes that a non issue so no need for a center tap, or artificial center tap.
If I were not running dc heaters I would have made an artificial center tap, but ran it elevated instead of to ground.

Man, I was hoping the would be the case by now, I have a little more wiring to do. But I can't catch a break, I had to fix the pool pump/filter, and the AC condenser on my wife's car exploded so I had to fix that this weekend too.

He makes the chassis too. I'll be getting (hopefully) face plates from him as soon as he finds a new shop to do it, the old shop he was using closed down.

I have had the most challenging issues trying to create a faceplate after the fact.
Hopefully there is a template or standard spacing to aid the reproduction.
Curious how you go about it.

Normally I would not do it this way. But the chassis is made by valvestorm, and they are the ones making the faceplates too, so they are able to make sure everything lines up perfectly.
It's pretty awesome because all i did was take an image of the chassis and label the holes I'm using, Robert took it from there.
