Brief Description:  Install Instrument Panel

1300 - 1430 1630 - 1818

Continue with instrument panel wiring.

Trim previously installed conduit.

Remove pins from pitch and yaw servo harnes.

Route pitch and yaw servo harness through conduit and forward to instrument panel. This required increasing the diameter of a plastic grommet so those wire were removed, and the grommet was removed. The hole was enlarged and a larger grommet was installed.

The DB-15 connector was then re pinned per the wiring diagram. Once the pin were in, the backshell was assembled.

The pitch and yaw connectors were then attached to the respective serovs and the harness wiring was tie wrapped.

I am planning on the Aerosport interior panels. This necessitated the removal of two wire guides that were installed long ago. The wire guides routed the wires right in the middle of the sidewall panel insert, and were far too tall to allow the panel to be installed properly.

Eight rivets securing the wire guides were drilled out. The wire guide holes were then opened with a pair of snips to free the wire bundles. The plastic grommets were removed from the wire bundles. The portion of the wire guides that contained the wires was removed with a bandsaw. The remaining piece was then finished, deburred, and smoothed. I reinstalled these flat pieces to their original locations using AN426 rivets. Removal of the guides will allow movement of the wire bundles and proper installation of the interior panels.

While I had the rivet gun out, I permanently riveted the lower instrument panel supports using AN426 rivets.

Next, a 6 pin Deutsch connector was installed on the aux fuel pump LED wiring using standard techniques.

I then tried removing a pin from the CPC connector for the GMU22, as a test. It should not be an issue to remove these pins for cable routing.

All in all, a much more productive day today...
