Continued with wiring harness
Secured rear wiring harness in position
Fitted replacement transponder rack which was required given the way the wiring harness was constructed (wires too short to reach the transponder in the original rack)
Secured the CPC connectors in the center of the avionics shelf
The VPX was installed 180 degrees out of alignment, so that was rotated to put the connectors in the appropriate orientation
Connected the rear and front headset wires using solder sleeves, the GA headset jacks supplied were removed in favour of LEMO plugs
Connected ELT and elevator servos
Prepared the tail harness connectors for GT150 socket, but need some black wire to complete the installation (have ordered this)
Connected the wiring for the overhead lights and USB connector, then ran some additional wire from the region of the TC connector to the center console to link it to the internal USB wiring circuit. Tested the light and USB cable with a 12V battery and confirmed they function as intended
Fitted the replacement throttle cable and pipe / heat shink shielding as specified in the KAI on the engine side of the cable
