Brief Description:  Bus Wiring #3 - Wire keepers

Since I am planning on using the two inter-cockpit cockpit structures for the wire paths, I need some way to keep those wire organized. There are two usable surfaces on the front structure and three usable surfaces on the rear structure that I could have used for the wire paths and I chose the horizontal as that seemed to impede the least into the other space that might be needed.

I drilled out the previous 1/8" holes I used to separate the LED light rows that run on the underside of the aft structure and had ample room to widen the holes to the desired amount. Except for one hole that was slightly off-center and already almost touching the light...for that one I used the circular file and widen the hole toward the open area. Otherwise, it was an easy process.

The next job was to permanently mount the diode. Originally, I was thinking the diode would be on the left side of the rear baggage wall. However, with the panel stack being on that side, the wiring harnesses will be exiting in that area, so I moved the diode to the right side of the aft baggage wall.
