Finish Kit (and others...for Final Assembly)

Nutplates added to Bottom Cover ( 4 hrs )

Installed 6 nutplates (3 per side) for Bottom Wing Covers.  Completed fit of Cover around LE up to Top Cover.   Further inspected Connectors at Fuse to Wing:  revealed 9 Pin connector ( carries wiring for both Landing Lights and Nav Lights, as well as Fuel Sender on RH side) had a pin inserted but NO wire.  Cut open heavy duty heat shrink applied by Stein Air and found the end of Black wire for ground about 1" away from connector.  Ran out of time to repair...
Nutplates for Bottom Cowl completed.  I can't
figure out why these are left to builder -
except part of 51% build requirement.
Connector for harness from Fuselage to Wing Harness.
Only #4 position was supposed to be vacant.  But #2
position has a pin, but no wire attached. 
Supposed to be Black, for Ground





shows pin without wire attached
Cut open shrink wrap, and discovered Black wire.  I  suspect
 was pulled out prior to shrink wrap locking all wires together.
This harness is NOT computer checked like other harnesses,
including Common Fuse Harness, and Wing Harness --
 apparently many variations for build content...so non-standard


I pulled Black wire "forward" (there was plenty of slack).
 Will crimp on new pin, after I manage to remove pin in #2
location in connector
