It has taken a long time to put things on the firewall because I wanted to make sure everything was in its final place before drilling holes. Well, I goofed up. The first picture shows a drilled hole now plugged. This was where the IO Xtndr was mounted. The main use for this device now needs two feeds from within the engine compartment. I didn’t even stop to think about where all the wires will come and go to for the additions I plan to make in the future. I started thinking about provisioning spares and realized, this should be on the other side of the firewall. What was I thinking? The second picture shows the plugs for the old location of the RDAC. In planning space for other things, I had drawn a horizontal line on the firewall with intentions of not letting any mounting holes be within 1/2” of that line. After I added the RDAC I realized the bottom holes ended up right on that line. Do’h. The mounting hardware would interfere with the full travel of the rudder pedals to the stops. Moving on I made the sense post wiring run for ground power. First step was to mount a diode between a ring terminal and a butt splice unit and put some rigid heat shrink on it. It made a nice solid package. |
