I didn't think there could be so many wires in a simple, no auto pilot basic VFR aircraft. However, the fuel injection and electronic ignition add a lot more complexity to the wiring process. There will be a huge benefit in not ever having carb ice (0-200) and being able to adjust fuel flow individually to the cylinders to even out EGT and CHT. At this point it's like drinking from a fire hose but as they say - 1 wire at a time and label the ends.

Finally getting preplanning ideas onto the panel. Drilled, filed and fit the instruments and switches into their places. Finished paint and lettering and installed. Now the wiring phase starts.

Why would someone do this? It is a structural piece and is now rendered useless. A new panel is over $500 and needs to to fitted. I will cut a piece to fit and fill in and glue it in (Norton Speed Grip) as tig welding will cause way too much distortion.

New thought - I think I'll buy a new one.
