Oct 26, 2021 4 Continued reviewing wiring Category: Electrical
Continued tracing and reviewing wiring. Took a couple of the Jeager connectors apart and they looked fine inside. I won't clean off the connector until I'm taking it apart for reuse with the new wiring. Have almost finished identifying sizes and lengths of wire required. It will be a big order from A/C Spruce.

Spent some time with the fuel tank. The windscreen rested on the upper skin of the fuel tank. The windscreen had a rubber gasket on its lower edge that rubbed a mark on the fuel tank. This mark allowed me to make a paper template to replicate where the lower edge of the windscreen rests on the tank. Removed the plastic edging that is riveted on the end of the tank as part of the glare shield. This needed to come off until the plane is covered. The edging fits over the fabric.
Did a thorough surface cleaning of the tank to remove some of the pitting and oxidation. Looking to steam clean it tomorrow.

Brakes. Yeah, they're still in the works. Wanted to see how they may fit as toe brakes. Still not decided. See attached pictures. Hardly any room for all the pieces.
