Brief Description:  Finsih connectors on EGT sensors and start on P-le

I got a late start today on the RV8 due to working on the Citabria. Pulled the Citabria out and started and ran for about 15 min. Only got oil up to 110 degrees but called it good. Checked to see if brakes were holding since I had added lots of brake fluid earlier and also had gascolator leak. Seems they are sealed up. Changed oil and refilled and cowled and flew for 1/5 hour. Then.......started on my rv8 project!
Finished the connectors on the EGT/CHT probes on right side. Wont bore with details again.

Moved on to the magnetio P-leads. Decided to use Solder sleves for the shields as Ive sen done by Stein air on radios etc. Basicly just cut the outercover back exposing the braided shield. cut off the shield leaving about 1/8 inch. Run the solder sleeve over the wire to the exposed shield and then heat with the heat gun. Now I have a pig tail wire comming off for the shield wire termination to grnd and the inner wire is simply stripped as normal and terminated with ring terminal and shrink tube.. Did both magnitos. I kinda decided how I will route the wire and left slack as usual. Im a bit confused how to terminate the shield wire at the moment. I will check if my plan is ok first before proceeding.
