Brief Description:  Headset wiring extension

When I ordered the Approach Faststack system, at the time for some reason I didn't request the extra length for the headset wiring to extend to the baggage bulkhead. So, I spent a long day creating a longer wire loom and routing it through the cabin. To make a long story short, I bit the bullet and created another set of holes to run this wiring back along the center tunnel on the right side -- away from where the strobe wires will be on the left side. Afterwards, I spent a number of hours splicing into the wiring up front behind the avionics stack. Tedious work. I next have to splice into the tail of these wires to connect to the jacks on the baggage bulkhead. I took a detour along the way and decided to fashion a headset rack that I had been thinking about. Best to do this now because it will be very difficult to do once the skins are on and the rear plexiglass window is in. It turned out rather nice...

A #5 Adel clamp on each side secures the hanger.  Wow, now I have a place to hang the lamp!
