Well the job is done. I took out that horrible "fire waiting to happen" Federal Pacific box. They have a 10% failure rate I'm told. I replaced it with a Square D cheap jobbie from Lowes. I had a little trouble with the 2 gauge Al wire coming up from the Main but my electrician buddy helped me out with some know how and a weird little contraption to give me the extra 18 inches of neutral wire I needed. Now everything is code and the breaker no longer keeps switching off at random times. One step closer to completing the attic.
