Scoped out solution for sensor mounting for oil, fuel and MAP. Ordered VA-168 manifold from Van's. One machined block to mount the 3 pressure sensors and related connections. $19, plus 3, 1/8" plugs at .88 each, plus shipping. About $26 all in.
Figured out plumbing for AOA and pitot and made connections. Installed 2 conductor molex for power in for heated pitot. Minor bending and manipulation to get all into left wing. Garmin allows bends of a radius of 1.5"
Need a poly-flow end flange to complete connections. ACS order placed for that, and other misc. items needed.
Met new hangar neighbor. US Navy pilot, retired. P3 or 8? About 40 something! Naval Academy Grad. Nice guy. Jon Still. Came over to borrow some tools....ah, working at the hangar! Restoring a Navion.
