Suddenly there is wire everywhere!

For me this is one of the exciting points of putting my RV together. I enjoy the rapid progress that can be made installing the wiring.

Having ordered an AFS3400 I benefit from three very comprehensive harnesses which plug into the back of it. First step therefore is to thread all the wires in the general direction they have to go, and make sure they are combed out . That is what is going on in this first picture.
A last minute decision which I am very pleased about is that I ordered this very neat little firewall penetration part from Safeair. A bit pricey for what it is by the time it is shipped to the UK, but I am please I did. Almost all the wires that have to penetrate the firewall are installed. Just the electric mags outstanding, so it can clearly cope with a fully monitored engine.

The power penetrates the firewall by means of an insulated stud off camera on the RHS of the fuselage.
