Brief Description:  Instrument Ground Block

Fedex came to day and brought a bunch of backordered parts from Vans that I ordered from the FWF and Baffle kits. This time I inventoried the box RIGHT AWAY! Last time when I got the Baffle box inventoried it was a couple months and found I had a baffle part for an O-320 baffle and was missing my #1 cylinder baffling part. So...as monotanus as inventory is....I learned a lesson to do it quickly. I just put in another order for the remainder of the parts I need from the FWF kit thanks to Jim who provided his packing list of the FWF kit I was able to go through it and cherry pick the items I needed.....thanks again Jim!

I then worked in the shop just taking time to cleco the GPS coupling hole doubler in prep for riveting in place (pulled a muscle on my left flank of my back and it was giving me warnings to not get it angry....so I will postpone till the pain subsides)

I was able to work on the grounding forrest of tabs that I am mounting in the avionics area. Long story but I ordered the ground wire pigtails just a hair too short. This may be a better way anyhow. I probably don't need all the tabs on this but it fits well for the mounting location and I will have plenty of tabs. I was able to get it positoined and holes drilled with only a few grumblings from my back. Anyway.....that is the "hash" of work in tonights session.

This session also pushed me past the 2300 hour milestone in the project.......
