Dec 08, 2022     Firewall forward accessories & hookups - (6 hours)       Category: Firewall Forward
1. Attached oil cooler shutter control swivel to the valve control arm. I found that the control cable diameter was slightly larger than the pre-drilled hole, so I drilled it out a bit.
2 Cut and attached the cooling ducts for the engine-driven fuel pump, and each of the magnetos. Fitted Adel clamps to hold them in their proper positions.
3. Re-routed various spark-plug leads, hoses and other items to optimize how they fit.
4. Fitted the overflow drain for the engine-driven fuel pump. I safety-wired some plastic drain line to the pump fitting, ran it down and back to the firewall, bent a length of soft aluminum tube, safety-wired the tube to this, drilled a hole at the bottom of the firewall flange, and passed the tube through the hole. I then trimmed the tube so it protrudes about 1 inch. Zip-tied the drain line to a nearby hose.
5. Added a heat-shield to an exhaust pipe near the cabin heat control cable. [NO PHOTO]
6. Improved the fit of some of the baffle seals. [NO PHOTO]
