More small wiring tasks
An evening of little tasks to knock down the to-do list. I was going to finish up the sniffle valve install, but don’t have the right sized adle clamp. I’ll have to wait for my recent Aircraft Spruce order to arrive. The routing of the tube looks good, though. I also debated about how to better secure the crankcase breather tube. I think an adle clamp on the engine mount would be best, which means moving the fuel pump overflow. I might switch that over to adle clamps as well. It seems like I’m going adle clamp crazy, but I’d rather have everything secure than flopping around.
I picked a task at random and decided to drill the weep hole at the bottom of the filtered airbox snorkel. The instructions call for a 1/16″ hole for water to drain out. I was too nervous to drill it before, but had no problems today. I took out the filter, so I could stick the shop vac down there and catch any debris while drilling. Done.
Next was some wiring. I removed several wires from the EMS harness that I don’t need. I can always add them back later. Easy task. Next was routing the coax for the capacitive fuel converters out the side of the plane. I just drilled a hole and put in a snap bushing near where the vent tube exits. Also easy.
It seems like there’s an endless number of little tasks left. If I keep knocking them down, they’ll eventually all get done.
