I used split plastic conduit from the auto parts store to cover the exposed wiring that runs up the firewall. I have the goal of not having any exposed wires visible to the pilot or passenger, and this is an easy way to hide them. I thought about continuing the plastic stuff all the way to the spar, but it's too fat to allow the fuel pump assembly and center cabin cover to be installed.
That pretty much does it for the wiring that I'm able to finish at the present time. There are still plenty of loose ends (literally! ha-ha!) but I need to work on some other areas first. My garage was becoming highly cluttered after a whole winter of electrical work, so I spent the evening cleaning and putting away stuff that didn't need to be out anymore.
Hmm, what to do with all these spools of aircraft wire?
A hardwood dowel and a piece of scrap lumber make a handy wire stand!
It's shocking how many little plastic containers of loose hardware I have floating around the garage:
It took me a couple hours, but I reclaimed about three quarters of it all, and put each item back in its little drawer. I still have a bunch of AN nuts and bolts, which I am not returning to the general population since I don't want an old beat-up fastener to accidentally be used for something important. Plus there's a bucket of miscellaneous parts that don't have a home right now.
Plenty of room for the next project now! Although I'm sure I'll have it looking like a pig sty in no time.
