Brief Description:  Ammeter shunt, wiring

Wires from panel switches to Master Relay and Starter Relay cut to length and end connectors attached.

Ammeter shunt was mounted to firewall and connected to master relay. This required fabricating the conductor connection from copper strip, drilling the shunt to the firewall, drilling the firewall and doublers for platenuts, deburring all holes, dimpling rivet hole and riveting the platenuts and doublers to the firewall. The shunt was then srewed to the firewall and the conductor strip attached. I had to remove the engine mount to be able to do all this.

The forewall and reinforcement angle were drilled for a couple of platenuts for the oil pressure sender hose. Holes deburred and countersunk and platenuts riveted.

The first instrument hole was cut in the panel. I used a flywheel cutter to cut the hole for the magnetic compass in the center panel then used a jig to drill the 4 screw holes.
