Needed a junction block for my rewire and didn't care to pay for one since I knew one could be made easily.
Went out and bought a plastic cutting board for around 2 bucks (this is what the whole project cost since I had everything else already).
Cut 3 pieces about 3" X 1"
Stack them together and drill a hole on each side for mounting. Insert screws to hold the pieces together.
Mark the sides so that you can orient the pieces again later.
Drill two more holes for 1/4" bolts that will be where the wiring will connect.
***Be sure to only go through the first layer and part way through the second***
Take the pieces apart and drill out the holes in the middle piece so that the bolt head of the 1/4" bolts will pass through.
Insert bolts through the first layer.
Now use some epoxy and assemble the pieces back together.
Let assembly set.
Add a bridge piece in the middle.
Epoxy some washers on the studs.
Let set.
Counter sink the mounting holes through the first layer.
Wait 24 hours and clean up all the edges w/ some sandpaper and you have yourself a $2 juction block
Should have made it a tad bit bigger, but I believe it will work just find for all intended uses.
