Brief Description:  Wing Wiring 2

I put Molex connectors in the wing root to consolidate the wing wiring. I used .063 inch Molex conductors for the 24 gauge multiconductor cables, and .093 inch Molex conductors for the larger gauge wiring. Because the pitot heat is fused to 10 amps, I used a separate connector for that circuit, as specified by by Molex. I tried to incorporate service loops, so that any later maintenance will be easier to perform. On the smaller gauge wires, such as the fuel quantity sensors, I put the wires in nylon tubing to minimize the chance of wire breakage from breakage and secured the wire terminals to the nylon tubing using heatshring tubing. The GPS antenna is being put out in the wing, because the GNS-480 WAAS requires a specific antenna located away from a COM or other antenna. The IFR required antenna uses an Amphenol Connex P/N 122430 soldered terminal (Allied P/N 319-0078), so that was placed in the appropriate wing bay. A crimp-on female BNC connector was used in the wing root, as they are less expensive. Extra wiring was passed out to mid-wing as early on I'd planned to use a Blue Mountain Infrared camera. That company went out of business, but I went ahead and ran the power wiring in case an inexpensive alternative ever comes available. I am going to split up the wing wiring so each bay is photographically detailed, so that I can more easily remember how to do the wiring on the other wing.
