Adding multiwire kitchen circuit, I see my neutral bar is already full- in fact overloaded, with two wires under some screws- this is incorrect, no? or ok, depending on wire guage? So, planning to add extra neutral bar, connecting this to existing bar. Can I just screw new bar to back of panel, or does it have to sit on insulators? This is main panel, Crouse Hinds model 14 type G, 200A service. I am mindful of torque requirements, inadvisability of putting heavy loads on "skinnies" (have to switch a few circuits to these to make space). I do realize I'm near the limit on this panel. Just not up to springing for a new one just yet.
