Brief Description:  Multiple Items

Over the last couple days I've been bouncing between a number of items. I've done more prep work on the windscreen and have it nearly ready to install. As part of that I had ordered a glare shield cover from Aerosport that is much easier to fit without the windscreen in place. It's good quality and will provide a nice finish to that area although the fit is a little wonky where it comes down the sides. It would be better if they didn't cut the handhold holes and allow the installer to fine tune those.

I also did a little more work on the final routing of the ignition wires by making a mount for where the starboard side, top wires, go on the inside of the baffles. I've seen many instances where people just lay them on top of the cylinders, and while that is probably fine, I don't like them just flopping around in there. It may be a bit over kill on securing wires and hoses but it, in the very least, makes it look cleaner.

I also powder coated the throttle/mixture bracket and installed that behind the throttle body.I can now finalize routing and attachment of those two control cables.

Finally I was looking at the rudder trim and decided to redo part of it. I went with a hinge that is a little lighter and shorter and use two pieces of aluminum angle, JB welded together, for the trim to attach to. This looks cleaner and should provide for a better finish.
