You “need” to “tin” the cable first to get penetration through the cable strands. Then insert a pre-heated cable into the solder pool and then reheat to get full bonding of the joint. Otherwise you are creating a very poor bond with only the outside strands soldered to the Anderson pin. This will not be rated for full current and will easily create a “dry” solder joint
Wouldn't notching out there bracing compromise its strength considerably? It's only folded tin so it relies on the shape to keep it stiff. Take a piece of paper, it has no stiffness in a plane perpendicular to the sheet unless you fold it and keep the folds at right angles. As they are only small notches, if the reinforcing sections were riveted to the sheet (or tray?) beneath then that would help mitigate any resulting weakness considerably.
Ye right folded steel is done to strength mate however its actually 3mm steel and if u bolt it down correctly this should get it enough strength to stop it from twisting. I have had it like this for over 12 months and done many trip in the hight country and pull out the fridge and many different angles without a problem. As i said in the video you may lose ur warranty in doing this so if thats a problem I wouldn’t recommend doing it. I did it this way so i can run my lead out of the way so it doesn’t get pinched and uses wasted space. I also have it every bolt into the 3mm floor and fool mounts

Thanks mate sounds like some good advice there
