Title: LED cockpit wiring; Panel gap filler; Boot cowl work
1. Laid out, positioned and trimmed the white and red LED strips that will be mounted under the glareshield. 2. Drilled a #8 hole in the right side of the panel for the LED light strips' power/ground leads to pass. 3. Began securing the wires for the other LED lights under the lower Z-channel. 4, Began to address the gap between the instrument panel and the side skin on the right side. I started to play with a way I might be able to hide it, although after looking at it, I'm not sure it will actually be that noticeable. And fixing it might make it worse. Anyway, I cut some heavy card stock and traced the curve of the gap onto it, then cut out the card. Using this as a template, I could attach a gray-painted strip of aluminum to the edge of the panel, with the joggled tabs being bonded to the back of the panel. I will think about this solution for a while before I do anything permanent. 5. Marked the rivet sizes on all the holes in the top skin / boot cowl. 6. The glareshield skin hits the rollover bar pretty firmly, and it would mar the bar's powder coat if I allowed it. So I decided to re-profile the curve of the skin to keep it away from the bar. I used a nibbler to start the process, then curved files and sandpaper to finish it up. 7. Performed a preliminary magnetometer interference test (which it passed), just to see if that unlocked any secret game levels. None were apparent..
