Brief Description:  Redoing pitot heat wiring and tubing.

I realized today that my prep for the pitot heat wiring and tubing connections were set up to use two hands in the wing bay where the pitot is located (dummy me). The only problem was that two hands won't reach through the inspection access into the next outboard bay. I, therefore, had to lengthen the wiring and tubing to be able to make the connections in the inspection access bay (bellcrank bay) and then secure them in the next outboard bay.

Although not too difficult to do (if you've properly planned ahead) it was very time consuming while imagining what your hands would have to do. I stuck my hands and elbows into the already enclosed bays to visualize what to do. Zip tying the wires and tubing against vibration was the most difficult task.

I took the following pictures as a reference to look at when I install the pitot tube after riveting on the final skin to the left wing. Thank goodness it dawned on me before I riveted on the skin!
