[RE-wrenches] alternatives to Outback GSLC xxxx box?

[Rockisland]

Hiya William,

Does the empty GSLC come with a top, or do you fabricate a top where the Radian usually bolts on? Would love to see a picture of your dead front hinge,  I always wanted to to that….
Thanks,

The manual bypass switch is useless, for all inverters need to be bypassed at once using a single external bypass. OB does not make a version of the GSLC which only has the inverter breakers. They do make an empty GSLC with nothing in it. But no mounting assembly for the breakers, and no add-on kit offering to do this either.
