Brief Description:  Manifold pressure hose and misc

I removed the 45 degree fitting that was installed off the number 3 cylinder for MAP line per plans. The MAp sensor from Dynon has a 1/4 inch nipple and is mounted on the firewall. I havent got any real need for the MAP sensor other than Id like to compute engine percent power and such but no other real need since Im just running fixed pitch with carnurated engine and standard mags etc.
I replaced the fitting with a brass straught fitting with a barbed end that I just happened to have and installed it with some lube thread seal and then after picking up a rubber fuel hose from the auto store I just attached both ends and secured with hose clamps. I dont have a restrictor or anything and thsat might need to be addressed later but im not sure i like the rivit technique. More later.

Tightened the altertnator belt and secured bolts with 040 safety wire

Secured and cut to final length the air blast tube for the alternator.

Engine compartment is ablut done other than changing out some zip ties with adel clamps and attaching the magnito wires up just before engine start. Leaving them disconnected for safety reasons.

I still have a baffle tension rod to fab and install. Get the Spinner cut and installed and baffle seal to do yet. I might start engine before the baffle seal is done since I wont have the cowl on anyway during initial run up.
