Wiring Page 2

Started - 5.23.2001 - In progress


wire5.jpg (43205 bytes) The blue thing just about the conduit at left is the terminal block used to split the NAV light circuit between the three lights.  At right you can see my switch console.  I got the master, avionics bus, nav, panel, strobe lights, and dimmer wired... wire8.jpg (45506 bytes)
wire7.jpg (50043 bytes) The Adel clamps work well for routing all the wires up around the fuse blocks...  At right the battery is installed and you can see some of the ground wires terminating at the firewall... wire9.jpg (48780 bytes)
wire12.jpg (37012 bytes) More wiring...

I got the flaps all wired up...  You can see where I ran the wires as well as the pitot static tubing...

wire24.jpg (30849 bytes)
wire13.jpg (31415 bytes) I routed my wiring for the flaps a little differently.  I didn't want to be able to see the wires coming up through the floor... wire20.jpg (36434 bytes)
wire15.jpg (57718 bytes) I am using some Adel clamps for routing wires up to the fuse blocks...  After I ran each circuit, I used a switching power supply to test it...  Should be no smoke during the final test... wire16.jpg (52418 bytes)
wire17.jpg (55637 bytes) All of the circuits in the RH switch console are wired.  It's a tight fit to get all the wires zip-tied up out of site... wire19.jpg (45978 bytes)
wire18.jpg (53590 bytes) Left; Battery compartment again.  I will be zipping all these wires up once the job is done...

Right; Pax map light and switch as well as the rear aux power...

wire21.jpg (32298 bytes)
wire22.jpg (59536 bytes) Here's the landing light wig/wag circuit in place... wire23.jpg (46503 bytes)
wiring25.jpg (60099 bytes) Battery connections made...  I used a special crimper to attach the #2 connectors to the battery cables... wiring26.jpg (60832 bytes)
