Brief Description:  Finish routing and securing all the engine compart

Taking pictures of wiring isnt easy. They never show the neatness of the job and only comes out looking like a mess. But I took a few to show the progress today. Also, the time reflects the lag time trying to figure out where I should secure things and how. When its done it looks easy but getting there takes a bit of time to work through

I basicly tied up the wiring in engine compartment with adel clamps of various sizes and or zip ties. In a couple places I used some baffle seal material as a wrap for the engine mount tube and then the zip tie.

The carburator temperature wires were reconnected and I drilled a mount location for a small clamp on the control cable mount. I zip tied in several places for neatness and then used some spiral wrap

Re-routed the manifold pressure wires and got secured with coupious amounts of ties and spiral wrap.

Routed and cut to length the scat tube for cabin heat and loosely installed. Ill wait untill the exhast hangers are in place and the fab is dne before final length cuts and securing clamps are done.

Got the right side wiring all tied up as well

Noticed that I never safety wired the oil filler tube so I did that and called it a day.
I will now concentrate on finishing the exhaust hangers (if they get here soon) and then the crankcase breather tube and then the FAB needs to be finished up. Then engine should be ready for a trial start
