Went round sorting some of the cable clamps that are defined for the engine. The FADEC harness is going to need more work, but at least the high voltage spark plug leads seem to work length wise.
After trying the push-pull throttle cables we decided the bracket needed a bit of tweaking to help the alignment and clearances. Dad ground off the weld and increased the bend somewhat.
I wanted to retry some of the cockpit controls positions - needed the seats re-installed. The seat backs have a supporting tounge which slides into the cross bar between the main cabin and baggage area. I decided to added a layer of the super slippery, super sticky tape commonly used on the flaps. Only get one chance to apply - but went ok.
Then some trimming / adjustment of the plenum center section to go around the fuel pressure sensor.
And finished with some more push / pull cable trials. Got the basic system all working, although it is fairly stiff with the current levers / leverage and quadrants - more work needed.
