Avionics

CHT sensors installed ( 2 hrs )

Installed CHT sensors ( Garmin part # 494-70000-00, Type K, bayonet) in cylinders 1 & 3 on right side.  Crimped on #4 ring terminals to match pre-terminated sensor wires with screw/nut assembly.  Layered heat shrink tubing followed by fiberglass sleeve (provided w/ sensor) to provide stability/protection.  Most of my time was exploring where best to cut terminal wire at each location.
CHT sensor "kits" with instructions

Completing CHT #1 connection (#3 connection is inside
 fiberglass sleeve I'm holding aside ) prior to heat shrink tubing

Loops for strain relief.   Also must keep away from
exhaust tubes,  yet to be installed.

Challenge to accommodate engine movement on rubber mounts
while keeping wires away from edges and hot exhaust.
