Brief Description: Pre-Wiring TOP TIP

I was advised when doing the FWF to start with the immovable objects like the exhaust and plumb/wire around them. I think the same advice goes to wiring the panel. So far in my case the imovable objects are: * Fresh air vent tubing * Cables - Oil Cooler Door, Alternate Air Door, Parking Brake and Cabin Heat * EFIS multipin connector mount * Avionics Ground Bus For these items I have made supports and p-clip support angles with nut plates. It is surprising how long this takes to think/fabricate and you need to build into their locations your wire route plan.
