Attached two -12 size cushion clamps to engine mount near LH firewall and Left Mag to route wires for Fuel and Oil Pressure sensors, Oil Temp sensor, and P-Lead for Mag (combined w/ a -4 and -3 clamp). Clamped wires along upper rear engine mount tubing. Referenced Stein Air's schematic for GEA24 J243 connector for wire to wire connections. Josh Swenson at Stein provided tip for connection of P-Lead with ground wire: After uncovering braided shield wire, push braid backwards to open weave, then pull single wire for P-Lead out of open mesh ( I used a toothpick). This enables the braided shield to become a "wire" to directly crimp on ring terminal for gnd connection (instead of soldering a wire to section of braided shield). After practice with couple pieces, I decided this worked well for the P-Lead. No soldering, only #10 ring terminals added to ends. Included layers of heat shrink to each wire. Even remembered to include the MS25171-1S silicone terminal cover for the P-Lead post.
