Feb 21, 2021     Cockpit flood lights; Main switch panel installation - (4.2 hours)       Category: Electrical
1. Yesterday, I thought I might place a pair of LED flood light fixtures under the throttle quadrant and the main switch panel, but today I found different locations for them that are just as good -- on the bottom side of the cross-gear z-brace. I did the installation, ran power and ground wires for the right-hand one, and added the wires to an existing harness.

2. Pre-assembled the structural crossbar under the switch panel and zip-tied a protective plastic tube over it, to protect the wire harness nearby.

3. Blind-riveted the front half of the vertical channel cap to the fuselage, to allow for the installation of the main switch panel.

4. Installed the main switch panel, using #8 black stainless screws with nylon washers..
