Brief Description:  replace strobe/position wires with shielded wire c

Very time consuming wire redo todaay. I removed the two wires fro the right strobe and position lights from the wir bundle and again from the other side. I ended up cutting every single wire zip tie from the bundle in the process.
The 3 conductor shieldded wire from the tail is too short to make it to the switch console so I tied anothe longer run of the same to it and pulled the old out through the conduit to tail with the new wire attached. ran this all the way through the gear tower right side and to the switch some extra.
Ran 3 conductor shielded wire from the left wing root accross the fuse floor instead of all the way around thru the gear towers as before and to the switch console and cut along side the tail wires. did the same for the right side.
I tied the 3 cables of 3 conductor shielded wire together, and pulled the 3 conductors from a hole in the shield of each bundle.
then strpiped eacy wire for conductor crimps. I crimpped a tounge terminal for 18-14 awg wire (blue terminal) and crimped the 3 wires for the 3 strobe wires, and then the 3 position light wires and finaly the 3 sync flash wires. The 3 shields from each were tied together with a pig tail wire nand soldered together and then covered with shrink tube
All the crimps of three wires were also srink tubeed.
Reattached the wires to the switch sircuit breakers as before.
The shield ground still needs to have a connection spot to the body made.
