Putzing with wire

I finished running wires for the autopilot servo's. Snaked two #20 wires back to the aft fuse and ran all the wires to the right side for the wing level servo. I tiddied up the wires some in hopes that I'm done _running_ wires throughout the fuselage area. I still have several to hook up.

I pulled out my center post/console piece and mounted the fuel gauges, low-fuel warning lights and the ELT control head. I had to make a trip up to B&B for some #6 and #4 screws. Once I had stuff mounted, I screwed the console in place. I'd bet it comes out again but I hope not. I still need to hook up all the wiring on this.

I mounted the little eyeball lights on the side cap pieces and soldered some wire to the leads. I went ahead and riveted on the passenger side cap with the blind rivets.

I also mounted the AE Fuel Guardian control box on the back side (forward side really) of the sub-panel.

That's about all I did all weekend... Sandi is back home, so maybe now I can get back into a routine. It's also been HOT. It was 99.5 in the shop on Saturday.

(Time: 6 Hours; 46.5 Total)
