Fuselage September 2007 Updates September 2, 2007 Electrical Stuff.... - 2.0 hrs I am going with the Firewall Passthru from SafeAir1. These things are the way to go. You get a stainless spun one piece passthru with a stainless backing ring complete with pyro-sleeve and clamps. First class way to go for passing all of your wires thru the firewall. I am using 2. One for the power wires and the other for the engine sensors, etc going to the EFIS box. Once these were installed I installed the ground blocks. I used 2 24 connection blocks back to back. I won't need many for the engine side but backing them together and passing the bolts thru both sides makes for a strong clean installation. I put the engine ground cable on temporarily. Next I installed the comm antenna. I used the bent whip style as this creates very little drag.
