Removed wing skins and set them aside for final prep. In getting the LH wing frame ready for final prep, the various wires need to be routed, gromment and cable clamp holes drilled.
1. Used shielded 3-conductor 20 guage aircraft wire for the fuel sender. Terminated one end with a 4-pin molex connector (one pin for the shield). If I use resistive senders, I only need two of the wires. But I have the SSI ulrasonic senders that I may use, and those require a third wire. The shield will likely remain unterminated.
2. Use shielded 3-conductor 20 guage aircraft wire for the wingtip nav/strobe lights and landing lights. Note that all external lighting will be LED to conserve power. These wires will also be terminated with molex connectors and gold pins.
3. Temporarily mounted the Dynon remote compass unit on the inboard side of aft rib #11 with rivnuts, which will place it near the inspection hole in the lower aft skin between ribs 10 and 11. I used the SafeAir mounting kit and adjusted the horizontal angle to compensate for wing dihedral. When the kit goes in for good, all aluminum hardware will be used, along with loctite on the screws going into the rivnuts.
4. I plan to mount the Dynon OAT probe in the existing skin opening for the factory pitot tube. The pitot tuble will be on the RH wing and there is no need to make more holes in the skin. I ran shielded 3-conductor 22 gauge aircraft wire from the remote compass location to the outside of nose rib #9. The probe will be installed on the inboard side of nose rib #9 near the main spar.
5. Removed all wirng and tagged for final install. The LH wing frame is ready for final deburring and primer touch up.
