Brief Description:  Electrical - Cockpit Area

More field devices were connected up using Molex connectors including the e-Flaps Flap Controller, the Flap Sensor, the Electric Fuel Pump and the Cabin Flood Light. The Flap Actuator came with its own special connector, much like a Molex, but different. The Main Gear Actuators also have a special power connector. Jacob at PA sent me the matching female connectors that had not been shipped with the original kit.
The Wiring Harness came with its own C-shaped aluminum Support Tray but it is not enough room to install some electrical components that will be associated with the Dynon Skyview EFIS such as the ADAHARS, EMS and back-up battery. So I fabricated another panel and attached it to the C-shaped Tray as shown in the third photo below. I used .025" aluminum plate 6" x 18", 1/16" alumnimum 1" angle x 18" long, the two 1/8" x 1" x 4.5" aluminum bars originally supplied to mount the Oil Cooler and some SBL4-4 pop rivets and AN3-05A bolts.
BLAST FROM THE FUTURE: this tray extension is too short and should project towards the bow more plus be level with the plane's normal trimmed postion in flight (required by the ADAHRS module). In May 2021 I added 3' to the aluminum plate to move the three Dynon modules more to the bow, and extended the two legs up with 1" bar stock to get the plate level.
