Wiring started

Today was mainly spent ordering electrical supplies.  I want to make the instrument panel completely removable with cannon connectors so it can wired and operated on the bench.  The connectors are cheap, but the dam pins are very expensive.  I think that is how they really make their money…. little machined pins.

I have started to pull wires as I am waiting on the oil pan to be machined flat.  I cant put it on the engine just yet because the welding process warped it.  It rained all day in Charleston, so I couldn’t paint the engine mount either.

The headrest area behind the passenger is going to be very busy with wiring and instrumentation.  It will all be covered by a trim piece and a headrest.

The wiring from the engine monitor has 50 wires connected to it.  Each one has to be identified labeled and tested, then the drawings needs to be reviewed and corrected.  Tedious, but very necessary for future maintenance.   Actually I kind of think it is a bit of fun.  Sort of like doing a puzzle, sort of like doing artistry because it also has to look good when you are done too.
