Dec 10, 2021     Wiring and misc - (2 hours)       Category: Instrument Panel
Added an additional coax cable to the front panel for the headset/microphone pair. There was one coax already but needed to add a second. Fortunately, there were some empty pins on the Jaeger connector.
Also added an additional wire for CHT gauge that I added, again using an empty pin on the Jaeger connector.

Lastly, I spent some time fixing a safety wire that I had mis-wired on the retract motor. Rob is a fellow Dalotel enthusiast out of the US and he's been following the restoration. Rob noticed an issue with one of my safety wires and shared the attached photo. I don't know how I let that mis-wiring happen, but I did. It's good to have a second or third set of eyes to review things. Thanks Rob. The retract motor had been reinstalled in the fuselage so access to this wire was limited. There was just enough access to entice me to try without removing the motor. Notice that the holes for the safety wire aren't on the side of the screw head. They are closer to the rounded top. This made wrapping the safety wire around the screw very difficult, especially with the limited accessibility. The wire kept slipping off the edge and pulling over the head of the screw. It took a few tries but I was eventually able to get it. Due to the limited access, I couldn't get a reasonable picture of the corrected wiring. You'll have to take my word for it. ;-)
