Firewall Forward Kit

Reiff Heater harness secured ( 2 hrs )

Secured Reiff Heater plug adjacent to Oil Dipstick for access via Oil Door.  Routed up from bottom of engine along engine mount tubing.  Added more hi-temp RTV to ends of connectors on Reiff harness to provide strain relief.   Received the iPad Pro 11" (to mount on RH side dash)  -- so lots of distraction today activating and "playing".  Loaded Garmin Pilot app for free 30 day trial to compare to Foreflight - seems excellent so far, and will be more compatible with Garmin G3X, etc (although Foreflight should work fine, too)
Reiff Heater plug secured at Oil Door opening
Secured to Engine mount tubes down to bottom
of engine.  I wrapped tubes w/ silicone
tape to avoid nylon ties wearing into tubes.
