Ok I got my main breaker installed. By the way its the part # from the TM CD3Z1421-1. I picked it up from {PLCCENTER.com} $80 shipped. Not bad :D. They even sent a little bag of candy to snack on while installing it.
I also installed the venier speed control cable. I spent 2hrs with...

NO voltage coming out with the breaker ON...

I sanded then cleaned...
