Avionics

Circuit Breaker re-visited and Canopy Release ( 3 hrs )

Last week discovered Cabin Lights CB didn't have a wire connected.  Stein Air quickly made appropriate wire w/ terminal & labels, plus provided lacing material and a "Menda Harness Wire Threader" tool (so I could thread wire through already completed laced harnesses) which I rec'd Monday.  So, simply removed CB panel, inserted wiring all the way back to LH side along with other lighting wires (to connect to LED strip under glare shield).   Also used unibit to enlarge hole in IP to 0.50".   Installed SB500-06 in IP so canopy release handle slides through plastic bushing.   I also rec'd order from Stein Air for "forest of tabs" ground plate, faston connectors, plastic protection sleeve.  Next task is to add to inside of firewall.
