Avionics

Canopy Harness installation ( 4 hrs )

Added cushion clamp ( size -7) to retain extra cable at LH sub-panel forward of G3X Touch 460 panel, etc.  My wife Nancy helped re-mount canopy so I could start Canopy Harness installation.  Routed 40" of safety wire through LH side of Canopy per step 5 in Sect 61-03.  Drilled holes for Garmin GA 26C GPS antenna in upper surface (ie dash).  Since BNC connector pre-connected by Garmin to antenna, needed 3/4" hole to pass (used uni-bit).  Mounted w 2 supplied screws.  Tah-dah!  Prepped 2 defrost fan's black & red wires per Steps 1 & 2, Sect 61-02.  Routed W2128 (Wht/Brn) and W2129 (Blk) wire through canopy frame pulling pre-positioned safety wire out of aft oval hole per Sect 61-03, Steps 1-4.  Protected these wires along canopy shelf via clear spiral wrap retained with cable ties.
