Apr 13, 2023     New firewall pass thru and throttle bracket - (4 hours)       Category: Engine
Worked on attaching the throttle bracket to the instrument panel. Installed one nutplate before realizing that the throttle bracket I got from AFS was labeled on the opposite side of the RV plans. Nutplates needed to go on the upper surface of the bottom of the instrument panel. Had to remove the bottom set of switches on the panel to install the nutplates, but from there it went well.

Began installing the second new firewall pass through and match drilled to the firewall. Removed both the prop governor cable and mixture cable to pass through the throttle bracket. Made two 3/4” holes in the scrap throttle bracket to see how it would look. Will make holes in actual bracket next time. Last cable to upgrade would be the throttle cable and I may just use the plastic snap ring bushing and some high temp sealant, since that hole was previously drilled.
