Completed review of materials needed for the G3X Touch installation. Found sources for splices, heat shrink tubing, crimp tool for splices, positioner for high density d-sub contact crimp tool, and insertion/removal tool for high density d-sub contacts. Looked for other parts that will be needed during the build and put some items on supplier wishlists. I know I need a lot more, but won't know more until I finish the design and start building it.
Researched shrink tube wire label options. My contact uses industrial labels which are about $0.60 in bulk. The M23053/5 mil spec labels are 2 or 3 times more. I still have a Kroy printer and a mix of mil spec and commercial labels and will try getting the printer running first.
Unpacked the shipping box and inventoried shipment of Garmin Avionics.
