Brief Description: Heat cables installed and trimmed
I installed the forward and rear heat cables today. I had installed the cables a few months back and thought I could just remove the actuation wire, shorten the cable and reinstall. Well, turns out I was wrong. I had to remove the entire cable on both sides and start over. This time, I set the cables into the cable bracket that came from Aerotronics with my panel. Once it was set to the proper depth for installation on the panel face, I cut the casing to the proper length and reinserted the actuation wire. With the wire in, I reattached all the hardware securing it to the firewall with cushion clamps. Because the clamps share the same nut-plate as the fuel pressure line, I installed it too. I made a note to remove the actuation securing allen screws and add locktite (blue) and bend the actuation wire 90° before mu move to the airport.
