Step 18: Drill your feeder wire holes. Tin your feeder wires. Then flux your rails and solder feeder wires to them. Then mount bus wires and                clamp or solder feed wires to them. Then mount bus wires to latches. I curl the ends and use a #6 washer under the screw.                This provides good conductivity.
Step 19: Our modules are set up in an oval. The front of the module is to the outside of the oval. Hence, the back rail is called the INNER and the front rail is called the OUTER. The front track is wired to the front latches and the back track is wired to the back latches. The inner rail (or back) is wired to the top. The outer rail (or front) is wired to the bottom latch.
Step 20: I then paint the rails and track with Rustoleum Painters touch. I use the spray can that says it also bonds to plastic. It works quite well, but be careful with the foam. Too much and it will blister. I use flat brown.
