| Finished wiring the rearseat headsets and mic circuits. Bagan today figuring out how to get one of the headset cables from the |
|
| right side of the cockpit to the left side. Originally I thought I'd go across the rear seat crossmember, but there is some |
|
| interference in the baggage door closeout. Originally rejecting another 'conduit' across the tunnel, I came back to it as the |
|
| solution. I opened up the aft top portion of the center tunnel and ran the flaps through a couple of complete cycles to determine if |
|
| enough room existed to place a brass conduit similar to what I used for the control grips. It turns out that by placing the conduit |
|
| about 1" below the prepunched hole and about 1/8" aft. there's plenty of room to insert a brass conduit. I used the remaining |
|
| portion from the conduit for the control grips, capped off both ends with smoe snap bushings, and then epoxied the conduit in |
|
| place, did this for the control grip conduit as well. Expoxy applied to both sides of the tunnel/tube intersection. Ran one of the |
|
| 'pigtails' for the rear seat headsets across and thru the tunnel. Then I had to back and do a 'refresher' on wiring the 3 terminal |
|
| headset/mic jacks. found the materials in my 'wiring' notebook, and wired/tested then soldered the right and left rear passenger |
|
| jacks. I tested them with all combinations and everything seems to work fine. I also plugged in the IPOD and Viola! it works as |
|
| well!!! So we'll have some tunes in the background when crosscountry! |
