Wings

Wire Harness WH00011  ( 1 hr )

Continued running WH00011 wires through LH wing per 19-02.    The 5th of 6 was getting tight  - so not too surprised when I could NOT get the 6th wire past the 6th Rib Snap Bushing.   Since it's exactly midway between an access hatch and open section of wing...it's a long reach.   The Snap Bushing seems too small.  I tried several ways to work it through.  NO JOY !   At first I suspected an incorrect undersized one was used by QB'ers  - especially compared to what I found on the RH Wing for exact same harness.   But when I checked in Sect 14-04 where these SB's are designated, I discovered it's supposed to be smaller than RH wing.   The LH wing has SB375-4 in the locations for this harness, and RH wing has SB500's !    Can't figure out why, since LH wing still needs a 7th wire routed from harness WH00012.    I'll hopefully get this resolved Mon via Van's builder support.
