A piece of 5052 Aluminum 0.061" x 26" x 27" was purchased at ALRO Metals Outlet ($14.00), A 10.5" x 6.25" section was cut (DSC01847), and then formed into a platform with a top area of 10.5" x 3.25" and a height of about 1.625" (DSC01853 below). The Gigavac contactor and the Shawmut fuse will be secured to the platform, and both will be significantly above the chiller plumbing.

This platform fit easily between the cabinet wall and the controller (DSC01859). The height of platform was the maximum possible that would allow a simple Copper 90 degree angle to be fabricated and used to connect the contactor and the bottom terminal of the main shutoff switch.
