| Combo update, Fri,Sat,Mon. Fri. Finished up mounting the center stack trays and the centerstack sub-panel. I test fit the panel |
|
| and found that I had some interferrence w/ the JPI EIU and the Copilot EFIS. So I moved the JPI EIU to the forward side of the |
|
| instrument subpanel. I figured out which cables from the JPI need to be passed forward thru the firewall, and routed them. then I |

| rubbing directly on the heads. I removed the tension rods, and applied a bead of red RTV to the fwd and aft baffles on each side. |

|
| the cotter keys on the engine mount with stainless steel. Added 5 more adel clamps to further secure some of the hoses. Also |
|
| shortened the Manifold Pressure hose. I don't know why Van's has these hoses so long. I picked up a mandrel from Aerozona |

| parts this am. I was reluctant to make any of my own hoses, but after remaking this one, its really not a big deal. Tomorrow I'm |
|
| tackeling the EGT & CHT harness. i've been reluctant to do this as I want a neat/tidy engine compartment, and I'm afraid I'll |
|
| screw up and get one of the probes too short. I cut a section off one of the harness leads and did a dry run test of one of the |
