Avionics

Ground Plate and GEA24 J242 ( 3 hrs )

Torqued 5/16" bolts (one brass, other SS) attaching ground plate/"forest of tabs" to inside of firewall.  Nancy helped wrench from outside while I crammed myself under dash to tighten from inside firewall.   Installed clamp to guide harness.  Laced 3 or 4 wires to each other near terminals for better vibration support.  Also installed connector GEA24 J242 (temperature sensors) to RH subpanel.  Slipped nylon sleeve protection on wires, routing odd # sensors through RH firewall hole ( EGT1 & 3, CHT1 & 3) and even # sensors through LH firewall hole (EGT2 & 4,  CHT2 & 4).  No pics yet...
ground plate bolted ton inside firewall. 

Highlighted lacing of wire into groups ( 3 or 4 tied together)

Outside firewall:  part #P25 (battery negative cable) now
anchored directly to brass bolt, vs 6 inches separately to left. 
Battery box is just below.
