I'm not sure what his plan is. He may have just had that temporarily hanging there, or just using the wood for the insulator.

I split bolted from the #6 and ran it to the ground bar. I was under the impression you couldnt bring the catv ground into the panel hence the external ground bar seperated from line voltage. Yes this was under supervision of the master electrician i work for.

You said in your first post that this was at your parents' house. Your Dad was standing there the whole time breathing down your neck. Admit it...

Honestly, there is a lot of copper showing on the breakers, you need to trim a little less insulation.

He doesn't need to fix what is already code compliant per NEC. No need for a bushing.

Well what should he use as his guide then if it's not the NEC? Should he use the Electrician's Guide To Overkill Installations authored by you? I think not. Also, It would totally fly in VA. What county would it not fly in?
