Brief Description:  ELT / GIB stick harness / general wiring

I actually started where Ralph finished to straighten out a few more wires and get them routed to where they needed to go. This was a bit tedious to get accomplished but is appears to be at the point where it can be laced in a few places to get the "birds nest" area done.

I took a little time to check out the wedges I made for the ELT antenna. They are going to be too thick and to get the angle needed to parallel the back seat bulkhead will not allow the antenna nut to be installed due to the thickness....so back to the drawing board. I was pondering the situation and considered that I may want the antenna to be removable also so I have pondered a few ideas on that end also. I think if the antenna was relatively easy to remove in the event that an off field landing occurred the antenna could be removed from the aircraft and set in a more advantagous location...still pondering.

Finally I worked on routing the GIB stick harness through the conduit. I cut a small hole in the side of the conduit and drilled and inserted a snap bushing to get the harness in the area of the stick. I will get the stick connections completed a little down the road when I have the stick inserted.
