Avionics and Firewall Forward Kit - Propeller

Canopy Harness and Spinner ( 2 hrs )

Laced wires and splices, then used spiral wrap to gather LED wiring.  Added clear silicone to hold wires to bottom of glareshield to complete Canopy Harness.  Confirmed all connections OK for  LEDs via 9v battery connected to Pins 7&9 (white) and Pins 8 & 9 (red).  Next, measured gap from Spinner Plate to Started Ring per Step 7, Sect 44-02.  Removed slight "dishing" in Plate and gap ranged from 3.033" max to 3.020" min  - so much less than .040" max variation allowed.  Completed Steps 1 & 2 at Sect 44-03 removing Spinner cut-outs.  Used thin diamond encrusted wheel on dremel (cuts fiberglass like butter !).   Trial fit on Prop shows more material to remove for clearance.
completed canopy wiring under glareshield.

Spinner came marked for cut-outs, but
 I used template Hartzell sent via email. 
Very close, slightly less at top.
Trial fit.   Some clearance needed, but close
