Fuselage January 2008 Updates January 12, 2008 More wiring.... - 4.0 hrs Labeled the main battery and alternator wires using labels under shrinkwrap. Not ready to put the main terminals yet. Next I ohmed out each wire running to the EXPBus. Just one more check to make sure they are connected and labeled correctly. Found the MB2 terminal wire missing. So it was a worthwhile excercise. Went ahead and ran the wire in the existing bundle. Next I measured out a 14 gauge and 20 gauge wire for the taxi light and left wing Nav light. Once terminated at the drop down panel I ran the right wing landing light wire and Nav wire. Same thing same way. With these wires done I can finish tie wraping the main bundle going down to the center channel. I stareted at the adel clamp at the firewall where all of these wires start and cutoff the old tie wraps and retied going down the firewall moving the slack for the new landing and taxi wires. Also had the new fuelpump wires in this new bundle. Once it was done to the floor I started running back to the fuel pump tiewraping to the middle of the tunnel.
