Brief Description:  Sparl Plug Wire Mount/ Misc

Finished off the dual throttle housing and torqued most of the engine compartment bolts today.

The dual throttle housing is a riveted structure that snugly holds both throttle cables coming from the cockpit. The housing has been ready to be riveted for months, but I have been mulling over a method for routing the spark plug wires that cross from one side of the engine to the other by possibly using this housing. In discussions with my Tech Counselor during his visit the other night, I decided to add an L-angle to the top of the housing which could be used to mount an adel clamp to hold the wire. Fabrication was pretty straightforward, although on my first attempt I did precisely what my TC told me not to do: Don't drill the adel clamp hole so close to the housing that there's no room for the hardware. Doh! My second fabricated mount took care of that problem.

I also went back through the engine compartment setting the torque on all of the bolts that I'm pretty sure are set for good then marked them all with torque seal.
