Brief Description: Wiring Harness for the G Meter/Clock
Put a hose clamp on the front lower brace of the left wing stub step. Attempted to tighten the clamp but the restricted access prevented that with the tools at hand. Going to bring in a set of sockets with a flexible extension to attempt to secure the clamp.
Loosen the clamp on the oil tank to allow space for the 90 deg elbow to be screwed into the top of the tank. Applied Teflon tape to the fitting end. Completed the mounting of the elbow on the top of the tank with the opening pointing aft of the airplane.
Created labels for each of the four wires on the G meter/clock plug. and heat-shrieked them in place. Spliced the power wire to provide the length needed to patch into the battery lead on the TAC. Patched a length of black 22 gage wire and the black wire from the temperature probe on to the ground wire. Installed a crimped terminal on the ground wire extension end. Spliced a length of 22 gage red wire onto the yellow backlight wire. Check the length needed to connect the backlight wire to the instrument light buss and cut to length. Installed a crimp terminal on the end of the backlight wire. Connected the ground and backlight wires to their respective terminals. Pulled the battery wire from the TAC and removed the terminal. Extended the battery wire by 6 inches. Removed 1/4 inch insulation from the battery wire and the G meter/clock power wire. Twisted the two power wires together and crimped a female bayonet terminal to the wires. Installed the power wire back on the TAC. Spliced the red wire from the temperature probe onto the green wire from the G meter/clock plug.
Drilled a 3/16 inch hole in the left side panel in front of the instrument panel. Cut back the outer insulation on the probe wiring. Removed 1/4 inch of the insulation from each of the probe wiring and tined each end. Slid the temperature probe wire through the hole in the side pane. Slid each of the probe wires into the splice for that wire and crimped it. Fed the wires and splices back through the hole on t
