Completion of camera USB power supply wiring

The 20AWG tefzel wires from the Flightflix supply were coupled to the 18AWG tefzel of the shielded supply wires using Raychem D436-37 (blue) butt splices for 16-20AWG and a DMC GMT232 crimp tool.

Note the oops in the nominal placement of the power supply mounting bracket - they "block" access to the fuel tank mounting bolts. In practise this is not a problem as these bolts are set before the rivets holding this bracket is installed, so the bracket can be held out of the way. The reverse is true if the fuel tank is ever removed. However inspection of the bolt is a problem, but is probably not a scheduled maintenance item. The alternative is the shift the bracket along one step, albeit a bit "ugly"
