Brief Description:  AMP Bracket & Nylon insulator

After getting the location locked in for the PIC AMP plug using the mock bracket I drilled the holes in the location I wanted and match drilled them to the seat ramp.

I had to use two single lug nutplates to get the distance between the screws that I needed. I then used the countersink to bevel the bracket holes. Next I completed the match drilled holes in the seat ramp to their finish size and used the dimple dies I have for #8 flathead screws to get the holes countersunk.

A couple weeks ago I bought some .032 nylon sheet from McMaster-Carr Aviation Supply. As I will begin connecting the fuse terminals I have been wanting to place a non-conductive barrier on the fuselage skin behind the panel....."just in case" a terminal or wire would come loose it wouldn't short out against the aluminum skin. It will also provide some chafe protection for the wires coming out the back of the fuse block.

I made a poster board pattern and got it to fit like I wanted it to and then used it to trace the shape on the nylon sheet. Using a utility knife with a sharp blade I was able to cut the nylon to finished dimensions. I checked the fit....perfect. I used some VERY GOOD 3M bonding tape to secure the top and bottom edges of the sheet on the angles.
