Started the day by installing the red cube per the rv-14 inst. drawing. However, the mounting holes in the cube are 1/4" and the drawing has you use countersunk #10 screws, presumably to help center the undersize screws in the hole because the holes aren't countersunk.

This seems a little cobbled together, and I don't have any of those particular screws anyway. After thinking about it for a bit, I ended up scrounging up a leftover chunk of nylon pitot tube and drilling it out to 3/16. Then I used it as a sleeve over a couple of AN3 bolts. Worked fine

I then installed the CHT probes. I used some anti-seize on the threads and torqued them to 25 in/lbs per the instructions that came with them

Installed and safetied the oil temp probe. This is a straight thread, so I just lubed the plug with a little engine oil and installed it with the included crush washer. FYI- The torque for this is snug +135 degrees rotation, which is basically just a bit more than 2 flats. You can see in the picture where I made a sharpie mark on the probe to help with getting it torqued right.

I took 2 hours out mid-day to take RJ to work, then run up to B&C and pick up my alternator.

I finished up the day by working on the mixture bell crank linkage but I'm still not quite satisfied with how I've got it rigged, so I'll come back to that tomorrow.
