More Avionics/Electrical/Exhaust
Been busy these past few weeks on a variety of tasks. All the engine sensor wires are fished through the firewall and ready to be connected. I finished up all my avionics trays. I installed my ignition shunt and 60-amp ANL fuse on the firewall next to the starter solenoid. Installed the Vans USB receptacles both between the seats and the Garmin GSB15 in the panel. The ground bus "forest of tabs" plate was installed on the cockpit side of the firewall on the right side. I put nutplates on it to make it easy to remove and attach the many ground wires to it. Before hooking up all the firewall forward sensor wires I decided to install the exhaust system, heat muffs, SCAT tubing and EGT probes. That way everything would be in place on the engine when I'm running and securing wires and I'm less likely to paint myself into a corner.
