Reason for being on the left is whilst connected up under the bonnet of the vehicle, there is clear user access between the leads and the drivers door to operate the ignition as well as the scope etc.
I didn't think of that, slight oversight on my part there
.
I'll figure out a work around
The tool box swivel castors are left that was why I put the boom on the right, my other roll cabs have the swivel castors on the right.

Do you have multiple inputs connected in series for each channel in your boom box?
yeah I daisy chained them together.

I avoided doing this by using DPDT switches to switch between inputs. That way other connected leads/probes do not act as an antenna.
So far noise hasn't been a issue. everything is shielded cable apart from inside the box.
If I do get that Issue I'll throw some switches in them, I'll keep an eye out in the next TaT mag.
Just trying to keep in mind magnets to avoid the headache Karl had with his setup.
With using it so far I think the banana sockets will only be used to hold the leads when not in use, most my gear is all BNC connectors.

I used shielded cable all of the way up to the BNC sockets to protect from RFI.
I did the same.
When connecting it all up I was about 2 m short of wire on the last channel.

The first TaT magazine issue of next year (issue 43) will have plans and instructions for my boom design.
I remember the instructions up on here somewhere for your boom with the publisher documents for the stickers you used.
You should go into manufacturing the booms, I'd be willing to buy one

Hope yr new job out of the dealership world is going really well
It is going ok so far there hasn't been too many difficult problem vehicles came in, just rewired a whole bunch of aftermarket equipment on a land cruiser. That was a headache and I think I lost some hair on that one.
