Due to cold outside temps, further floor assembly is on hold since priming is not possible. Continued mounting items on firewall while access is great to both sides:
1. Located and drilled firewall for 3 feed-thru capacitors, two for the AC output of the Rotax and one for the battery lead. Mounted feed-thru's to firewall.
2. Located and drilled firewall for the Dynon shunt. Mounted using AN3 hardware with spacers to keep prevent flattening of the firewal "dimple" as the hardware was tighened.
3. Temporarily cleco'd upper forward fuselage components to firewall. Located and drilled upper foward fuselage frame for two DG33 clamps to mount a 20,000 uF (40 VDC) electrolytic capacitor. Wired capacitor and shunt. Disconneded and removed upper forward frame parts.
4. Located and drilled holes in the firewall for the MATCO parking brake valve. Temporarily mounted with AN3 hardware.
5. Located and drilled a single hole in the firewall for AN3 harware to mount an AN742F3 cable clamp to secure the parking brake cable housing. Temporarily mounted cable and connected to parking brake valve lever for ops testing. Removed paking brake cable.
6. Located and drilled holes in the firewall for the Rotax rectifier / regulator. Mounted regulator using AN3 hardware with spacers to keep prevent flattening of the firewal "dimple" as the hardware was tighened.
