Title: wire bundles pt. 4
Spent the last 2 days continuing to pull wires, install switches, etc. At this point, I have the right side of the panel done as well as the boost and pitot heat switches in. This wiring isn't really difficult, but it's taking me a long time to figure out the best way to route everything with chaffing and ease of future maintenance in mind. One thing that held me up today was that I realized I didn't bake the bowden cable for cabin heat installed, and I had a momentary freak out thinking it would want to run smack in the middle of all the hot wires coming off the breakers. everything came to a stop as I installed that cable, found a way to secure it, and determined that everything was going to work out okay with clearance from wire bundles. The cabin dimmer kit that stein sells in a tidy solution, and it's nice that it's already soldered up, but teh shafts that go into the pots are really long and cause the knobs to stick way out from the standard Vans panel. I cut 5/16" off with an abrasive wheel on my drummer and they look much better. Also got a new soldering iron and re-taught myself how to solder when installing the micro toggle for teh defroster fan and the co-pilot PTT. Headed to Tucson tomorrow for Hollys college graduation, so I won't be working on the plane for the next few days.
