Fuselage March 2008 Updates March 10, 2008 Fuel Pump and Heater Cable.... - 2.0 hrs Got to the hangar and it was raining. I was having a hard time getting the pump connections to the fuel pump but finally got it hooked up. Next I mulled over the best way to run the lines out to the side of the fuselage. Got a couple of ideas but not quite ready to tackle it yet. Hooked up the EFIS to test it since getting it back from Advanced. Works great and compass heading stays in place now that I have the remote compass hooked up. Just about ready to remove the panel one last time to install the throttle quadrant for good. The rain stopped and looked like it was clearing back to the west. Snapped this picture of the sunset with the dark clouds above. You really can't hold the camera still for a time delay shot like this but it was close. Next I measured the cabin heater cable and marked the cut marks and where the adel clamps were going to go. Removed it and cut acording to the marks. I got it all installed back in place except for the adel on the firewall. I need a helper to hold it from the front. Jon.... where are ya bro. That BNut on the heat valve is going to work out great. The picture of the heater knob is most likely where it will stay most of the time. "Pushed in"! Its hot in Texas most of the time.
