Little more wiring and some new conduit holes

Borrowed an RJ-11 crimper from Ray. I shortened the 50ft phone line that comes with the ELT to the necessary length and crimped on a new jack. (30 seconds)

Also borrowed Ray's 135 degree drill angle attachment and put two new wiring run holes in the center section. After mapping out all the wires that have to go places, I realized there was no way I had enough room. The manual trim cable takes up one complete hole in the center. I put a hole on each side, just under the sticks.

Ran the fat strobe wire back to the tail along with two wires for the position light. I don't have the strobe power supply yet, but it will go just behind the baggage wall.

Ran a new wire for the flap motor, first one was too short. Wasn't thinking that both wires had to go to the flap switch.

I also ordered yet another batch of stuff from SteinAir. I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I've had to order something. Purchased the PC680 battery of eBay earlier this week too.

Mounted fuse blocks

I mounted the battery and main fuse blocks. I'll get pictures to show location later. Battery block is on back side of subpanel on passenger side. Main fuse block is mounted on the inboard side of the passenger side subpanel support rib. This gets it out of the way for the most part but still leaves me access if I need it later on. I just couldn't bring myself to mount it in a place that would be very difficult to access later. This location also gives me lots of options for mounting adel clamps for supporting wires.





Also drilled a hole on each side of the fuse, just forward of the wing spar opening to run the low-level fuel warning wire.

I replaced some of the SB625-7's with SB625-8's which have a slightly larger ID.

I set the fuel/brake line center cover in place to see how wires get routed out from underneath it up to the panel. Looks like there is room on each side to come out and up. You could also put some holes in the little cover that sits over the top of the fuel pump.

Ground block installed

I installed the 24-tab grounding block on the firewall. First real eletrical thing I've done.

I have identified most the wiring and where it needs to go and have acquired most of the electrical components I need.
