Installed ground block
I finished up securing the antenna wire for the ELT. I used some of the rubber edge grommet material from McMaster where the wire crosses a bulkhead flange. I cut the wire to size and installed a new BNC connector.
I next decided to finally install the ground block with all of the tab connectors. I’m not sure why I’ve been waiting so long for this step. I mounted it above the battery on the part of the firewall that slopes forward a little bit. It’ll be fairly close to the fuse blocks, so hopefully that keeps most of the wiring in that one area. I used an AN3 bolt for one side and AN4 for the other. That should give me enough options for hooking up the engine block ground, battery ground, and any other ring terminal grounds.
Matthew suggested putting some tape over the wheel pant brackets to keep from snagging them. Turns out an Amazon box fits over it perfectly with a slot cut out. This should keep me from stepping on and snagging the brackets.
