Started installation of LH Common Fuselage Harness - completed LH Wiring w/ snaps, LH or pilot's headphone jacks, and most Snap Bushings in center area. Still need to open LH panel adjacent to center tunnel, so I can route wiring to Pilot's joystick. I removed FWD elev. pushrod connection at bellcrank near Flap support so I could pass connectors for RH and LH harnesses rearward. Re-assembled and torqued. Nancy helped while I was in cockpit on my knees facing aft, fetching a few tools and providing moral support. Glad that's done. Vans should advise installing harness is best done prior to installing pushrods, etc. Last year, when I asked for guidance, they told me it wasn't important to do in any sequence. Wrong. Doing it early is far better.

| it would be so much easier if wiring routed prior to installing pushrods ! |
