| Dad spent the afternoon working on the FADEC cockpit harness - mainly un-picking, trimming and re-terminating the power leads, plus the labelling and documentation updates. | 
|
| I was working on the avionics stack harness. As supplied few of the GNS-430 data lines are exposed, so various connectors needed to be openned up and extra cores added. I decided rather than trying to complete the harness in situ in the aircraft I would bring out the data lines as tails and have a mid connector between the radio stack and the flight instruments (GRT et al). | 
|
| One problem I spotted was a nicked wire (center of picture) - this wasn't us. Glad I caught it - could of been a real bear to find later - it didn't touch the core wire, just the insulation - I removed the pin and covered with a small piece of heat shrink. | 
|
| I finished the afternoon with some simple bits, mounted the NAV diplexor for the GNS430 - it doesn't have one built in - which splits the raw NAV signal into glide slope and VOR components. |
