Finish Kit Page 2


finish13.jpg (48095 bytes) Manual elevator trim cable installation.  The instructions and drawings leave a lot to be desired in this area.  I ended up calling Brian Denk for some help.  Thanks Brian! finish17.jpg (50360 bytes)
finish14.jpg (41288 bytes) The pix on the left are betting at showing where I ran the cable, and the pix on the right show that it is pretty much concealed once the panels are installed... finish18.jpg (44012 bytes)
finish15.jpg (38334 bytes) As the cable passes under the rear seat throttle assembly, it will also be held by in place by an Adel clamp bolted through the throttle arm attach at the bottom... finish12.jpg (43031 bytes)
finish16.jpg (40972 bytes) I haven't completely decided how to route it once it gets past the rear baggage compartment, I will work that all out once I install the tail and see how cable I really have... finish19.jpg (47719 bytes)
finish22.jpg (41666 bytes) I finally decided to get he up on her gear this weekend... finish24.jpg (53651 bytes)
finish25.jpg (37822 bytes) The engine mount went on like a dream... finish20.jpg (62256 bytes)
finish23.jpg (62875 bytes) And once I figured out the axle, brakes, and fairing brackets, it all went together without a hitch... finish21.jpg (70009 bytes)
finish29.jpg (45216 bytes) Running the fuel lines...  This is a bit of a bitch, I had to make each of the two tank lines twice... finish28.jpg (48836 bytes)
finish31.jpg (45938 bytes) I still need to clamp them in place with some Adel clamps and soon as I get them.  I ordered some from www.tiewraps.com... finish26.jpg (44624 bytes)
finish27.jpg (51605 bytes) On the right you can see the fuel pump feed line, I still need to bolt the fuel pump in place... finish30.jpg (36853 bytes)
