Brief Description:  Misc engine stuff

I have fiddled with the routing of this cabin heat scat hose for a couple of days. Today I decided on a route and put it in place and added the clamps on each end., I then just zip tied it where I wanted it secured. I made sure the hose doesnt interfere with the operation of the throttle.

Vans supplied a stainless metal strap to be cut and drilled by builder and I did this. Now I need to decide where I need it and Im guerssing that to the exhaust horizontal support bar or the engine mount. Undecided at the moment butr its ready.

I also tightened up the conections at the engine fuel pump inlet and applied torque seal so I can remember I did this. Also double checked the tightness at the fuel meter exit point. and applied torque seal there too.

Zip tied my two blast tubes to the magnetos. Simply tied them to the engine temp sensor wires

All that is left is the manifold temp line that I need to get hooked up, This will require some builed fabrication as the Vans supplied stuff wont work with my fwd firewall Dynon supplied Manifold pressure sensor. Im not running a constant speed prop so the pressure readings are not necessary, only and engine health convienience reading. But id like it to work!
