Made quadrant cable mount
The primary task for the night was to make a mount for the throttle quadrant cables. The cable housing needs to be secured so I made a bracket out of some spare angle I had. 0.125″ probably would have been good enough, but all I could find of the right length was some 0.189″ thick angle. The nuts on the cable are too large to line them all up, so I staggered them. Lots of cutting on the band saw, belt sanding, Scotch-briting, and drilling. It looks pretty good.
I mounted the quadrant to the panel and subpanel to figure out where to attach the mount. I discovered that the throttle cable is a wee bit short of perfect. Since the 51″ mixture cable is plenty long, I started swapping it with the 50″ throttle cable. Hopefully that will be enough extra. I knew I’d be messing with those cables again. While they’re off, I’m going to make a better positioned mount for the other end of the throttle cable.
I drilled another set of holes to secure the SL-40 tray to the subpanel. There wasn’t a hole in the right place on the tray, so I just made one. That’ll make everything more secure.
I also did some work on the shopping list for wiring. I need some 6 AWG cable for the alternator and fuse blocks, and the associated lugs, and some switches, etc. Placed orders with B&C and SteinAir. I would have just ordered everything from B&C, but Stein has much better prices on some items. Unfortunately, Stein didn’t carry everything I needed.
Feels like I’m in the middle of 30 different things, but I’m definitely making forward progress.
