Got a few different things done today.
First, I installed the cover plates that close up the holes left by removing the magnetos. I also spent quite a bit of time installing a bunch of adel clamps around the engine mount for where sensor wires are eventually going to route. I’ve found that when the adel clamps are sized properly, they are a PAIN to install. Bolting 3 of them together with a single bolt and nut is truly an exercise in patience. After the third or fourth nut gets flung across the garage, it’s what some people would call annoying!
Then it was back under the panel to really finish the Lightspeed install I thought I was done with. While I was under there, I also routed the alternator field wires thru the firewall and to roughly where they are going to connect to the VPX.
And finally, I made up a blast tube that should help to keep the primary alternator cool, and hopefully last a good long time.
