Date:  9-12-2015
Number of Hours:  6.00
Manual Reference:  27, 31, 32, 42C
Brief Description:  Secured brake lines and wiring

27-04 to -06: Unscrewed the nuts from the brake cylinders, applied Loctite 567 on the threads of the elbow fittings and tightened the nuts.

32-02: Uninstalled the Male Nylon Tee from the VA-107 Brake Reservoir and the brake lines from the Tee. Had to clean old sealant from the threads using denatured alcohol and a stiff brush. Reinstalled the Tee and the lines after appling Loctite 567 on the threads. Applied torque seal to the joints to let me know that I've tightened the connections.

31-03: Installed the bolt and cushioned clamp with wires to the forward hole of the FT-60 Fuel Flow Transducer.

42C-03: Tightened the nuts holding the SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery.

42C-07: While checking the wires above the Panel Base I noticed that the coax connector was not connected to the back of the AV Garmin SL-40 Tray. I was able to install it without removing the tray. It did take some time trying to tighten the retaining screw with very little space between the upper firewall and the tray. Secured the coax cable to the wire bundle with zip ties. Reinstalled the SL-40 Transceiver.

Oganized the wires above the Panel Base and secured with zip ties and lacing tape. Placed some of the loose wires inside a snap bushing and placed in the top half-circle hole fo the F-00027-L Com Support. Had to resposition some wires and D-subs to make the arrangement neater. Placed as many wires thout would fit in the cushioned clamp and secure it to the Panel Base. Also organized the few wires on the right side of the Panel Base.

Modification: Drilled a hole in the left F-00032 Fuselage Side Cover aft of the floating connector to reposition the AOA tubing. At its current location it will be compressed by the left wing or the gasket.
