Title: Throttle wiring; rear seat; paint puzzlement
1. Continued working through the process of wiring the throttle quadrant. Made the wire slot a bit wider, and added several more layers of tough, marine heat-shrink to the cable for protection. After doing some rub tests along the edge of a piece of aluminum, I think the heat-shrink layers should last for many years before having to be replaced. Secured the wire with a nylon cable clamp screwed to the quadrant frame. This will allow the wire to gently flex as the throttle is moved full forward and aft. 2. I decided to add a clear, protective coat of paint over the previously painted avionics access door and throttle quadrant top plate. The paint was definitely enamel, so I grabbed a rattle-can of Rust-Oleum clear protective enamel and shot the two parts -- with annoying consequences. The paint almost immediately began to blister and crinkle. Not sure why that happened. 3. Added a smooth transition of SuperFil filler between the rear seat back and the fiberglass cap.
