5 hours.
I’m getting real tired of posting about loose ends, but at this point in the build, that’s pretty much all there is. I spent the day safety-wiring and adel-clamping various things firewall forward. Oh, and I did get the blast tubes done for the magnetos and alternator. These are pieces of ribbed conduit that go through the baffle wall and blow air directly on things that tend to heat up. I installed and safety-wired the tachometer drive cap, the oil drain plug, the governor clock screws, and a couple of other odds and ends. Safety wire is crazy stuff and hard to work with, especially in tight spaces, but after a while you get the hang of it.
I secured the wiring bundle on the right side behind the firewall with Adel clamps. It was loosened up to do something, I forgot what.
Oh, and the wonderful news is, we’re now ready to rivet the top deck skin on!
