One of Dad's purchases yesterday was an XLR socket - this will be wired to the A and B hot busses as a feed inside the cockpit or for charging the batteries without removing the cowl longer term. I removed the original toggle switch location and drilled it out. Of course I didn't have a hole saw the right size....
More wiring termination and setup - I think the lower bar is now fully drilled. One interesting note - the XLR socket has pin 1 slight further forward than the other 2 pins, I'm guessing this is for audio grounds - getting the ground before the 'signal'. I've wired pin 1 to ship ground for the 'same' reasons - made sense at the time. Still waiting on the Stein order, then I can finish the tunel wiring and then move onto the panel proper.

Tomorrow is gardening duties, back to plane on Friday.
