Continue on wiring harness (part 3)

TLDR

  • Installed the shunt
  • Continued to tidy up wire harness
    • Cable tied everything on the left rear of main spar
    • Connected power to cabin overhead
    • Connected tail harness
    • Connected GSA 28 for elevator
  • Pneumatic lines

Details

Shunt

All holes are pre-drilled on the firewall. I added a few rivnuts and screwed the shunt, done.

Wires

I spent a significant amount of time tidying up the wires. Still not done yet, but made some progress.

Nothing is particularly difficult, but extremely time consuming. I ran the wires back and forth a few times to make sure they have enough length on both ends (rack, and wherever they need to be). And I started to cable tie everything from back to front.

Cabin overhead wires

4 wires from the harness needs to connect with the cabin overhead wires to power the cabin lights.

I elected to use GT150 delphi connector just because I have a few in my tool box. The process was slow due to spacing, but pretty straight forward following the wire diagram from MWPB.

Pneumatic lines

Also connected the pneumatic plumbing in order to finalize the length needed to run through the center channel.
