Pilot side eyeball light, fuel gauge wiring
Really went to shop just to figure out some parts I need to order from ACS and Van's but Sandi hopped on the mower for awhile, so I soldered on some wire leads to the eyeball light and then blind riveted the pilot side spar cap in place.
I also crimped some terminals on the fuel sender wires and attached them to the fuel gauges. Realized I didn't run a power wire for the gauges, so I'll have to do that next time I'm out.
Tip-up Builders Note: The two angles that hold the canopy latch handles on the side of the fuse interfere with pulling one of the rivets for the spar cap. No reason to not rivet on the spar cap before the canopy latch handles unless you plan on trying to run wires behind it. I'll probably just 'glue' a rivet head in the hole to make it look right.
PS: I really wasn't wanting to buy one yet... but a 209A CDI came up on eBay with a buy-it-now at a good price, so I jumped on it.
