Mar 28, 2021 3.8 Final coax run; Baggage door and top skin Category: Fuselage
1. Fabricated the final coax connector and installed the last of three coax runs from the panel up to the front side of the firewall.

2. Wire-laced several more areas behind the instrument panel, and also in the avionics hell-hole.

3. Got out all the baggage door components and laid them out with the plans so I can better understand how it will all go together. I had vague recollections of the F-473G hinge support not fitting well several years ago, and sure enough, when I clecoed it in place, there was about a 1/8" gap between the ends of it and both the firewall and bulkhead. Rather than make plans to shim it somehow, I just fabricated another part that's 1/4" longer. Easy-peasy. I also marked where the avionics access door will have to be notched to fit around the hinge support -- although I'll wait to actually notch it until the baggage door is under construction.
