Firewall Forward

Alternator ( 3 hrs )

Installed Alternator per Sect 43-12 Steps 1-6 (ref prep in March 17 log).  Per instructions, delayed setting belt tension until Sect 51-06, after propeller installed, etc.   Safety wire took a trial run, but getting closer to "fun".  Also getting better at installing adel (or cushion) clamps using temporary safety wire, and "Cushioned Clamp Installation Pliers".  Thanks Vans Tech Support for recommending applying silicone spray to enable sliding clamps into position during assembly.
