Brief Description: Anchored conduit right wing/Ran strobe wires in bo
Today we drilled the ribs of the right wing for cable ties to anchor the black conduit holding the nav and nav antenna wires. We decided to move the conduit down to the large lightening hole as it neared the wing root so as to make a straighter exit into the fuselage. We also rerouted the conduit in the last 2 ribs on the left for the same reason. We then ran the heavy 3 wire bundle for the strobe in both wings using the grommets that were alreay in place. We had one piece of wire for the strobes but didn't know exactly how long the 3 wires should be cut from this one long piece. We "guesstimated" these lengths. ........Claude found that we could use one of the bolts holding the bell crank to the main spare to hold the stobe wire out of the bell crank by using an Adel clamp. So while I was drilling the right wing, he installed the Adel clamp and re-torqued the bolt on the bell crank. In the image you can see the grey wire running along the main spar and thru an Adel clamp thus keeping the wiring from interfering with the bell crank. When we finished, things looked good to me at least. ...... We then went back to our nemesis, the right external step, and glued the nylon block in place (see Image 2) after I had drilled the other nylon block and tube on the distal end. We used GOOP for an adhesive. I know I have said this MANY times before, but now we only have to rivet the two steps in place.
