After working on the top skin today, I decided to tackle some different projects this evening:
1. Continued to secure the cabin heat cable by attaching it to the top of one of the exhaust hanger rods. (We'll see how this works out -- I may have to move some things around.)
Began installing the wiring to/from the main alternator:
2. Installed two high-temperature Adel clamps on the right side of the oil sump. I had to file their holes out to 1/4" to accommodate the case bolts.
3. Drilled a 1/4" hole in the alternator arm for the Perihelion WhackJack diode.
4. Installed the diode.
5. Fabricated a 6-inch 10 AWG jumper lead with a 0.25" Fast-on tab on one end and a 3/16" ring terminal on the other.
6. Installed the jumper between the diode and the B-Lead of the alternator.
7. Installed the control plug and wire for the alternator.
8. Installed the main power cable to the B-Lead also, then routed both it and the control cable through the blue Adel clamps on the engine case.
