Jan 17, 2023     Nutplate for fuel inspection cover and installed AP head - (2 hours)       Category: Avionics
Hadn't been out to the hangar in awhile other than to shovel snow and when I arrived today a bunch of snow (very heavy) fell off the roof so I had to shovel that out so the hangar doesn't flood. More to come tomorrow, I suspect. It's coming into the hangar but, so far, not as bad as last year.

One of the things I wanted to do today is add a new nutplate to the fuel cover. You may recall that, as designed, the nutplate is DANGEROUSLY close to the fuel line, especially the old design lines. I had earlier removed it. (See August 25, 2022 entry). So I added a new one and then took some firesleeve and ziptied it to the fuel line which rests almost on the bottom skin. In the spring I'll put some blue RTV in there.

I also added the head for the autopilot and test fit the MFD. I have to reinstall the top cover in order to screw both Garmin G3X in but I still want to load up a syringe with a bunch of ProSeal to cover the wire grommets on both sides first.

I also removed all the spark plugs and shot some oil fog in each cylinder to prevent corrosion. I put the spark plugs back but they are not torqued
