Simplistic mosFET HV Shunt Regs

Hello guys,
if i understand right - to test SSHV2 and tune it to a proper voltage we need to calculate the dummy load resistor according to a current and voltage needed (that is o.k.. and clear)...
then we connect s+ and f+ together and that connection point we connect to one leg of the dummy resistor... the other leg goes to a connection where s0 and f0 join together??? right? or is ti becauses wires need to be twisted together and f wires need to be twisted together to form a sense???
i am a bit unclear - just wanted to confirm..

Salas I use the attached PSU that PSUDII seems no problems related to current but real world the maximum CCS can reach SSHV2 is 40mA & I need 60mA, any idea to fix the problem?

I have a couple of quick questions, I almost built the boards BUT I would like to make a few substitution to use what I have here and avoid making a Mouser order:
in the RC 0.47u and 3ohms instead of 0.33/1.8 combination, 5uF instead of 10uF for the big cap and 2x75k in place of 2x68k.
Could that work?

what's the deal with your 40mA limit? I need 60mA at 200V and man says up to 100mA (maybe 80 + the 20mA headroom).

Should still work, does not look unstable with those Zobel values. 5uF just means less noise filtering mainly in the subsonic region. Does not affect otherwise.
