Wiring some of the Carling Contura V switches.

I started routing wires from the power section at the front to the Carling Contura V switches. To make it possible to pull the panel back, I added a pretty generous service loop to the wires. I am not sure what the value of pulling the whole panel back would be, but just in case.

To test the backlight of the switches, I got a cheap 12V 50A power supply. I want to make sure that my two battery circuits and MZ30 "backup generator" circuits are working as expected.

This is what the partial wiring looks like.
