A piece of tight heat shrink will hold the whole thing together. Good or bad, the entire connection disappears in a wire bundle, it's so slim. Yes! I've illustrated the technique at: http://tinyurl.com/c5v2xvm Also, I recently did an install that needed power to 5 or 6 engine sensors. The sensors are all very low current and fed from a single wire out of the engine monitor, so I used Bob's DB ground block philosophy in reverse: I soldered the wire from the engine monitor to the back terminals of the DB sockets, then distributed that power to the various sensors through the other half of the DB connector. I used the plastic body of the connector to insulate the whole thing. The d-sub can be pretty versatile. The technique Dave is talking about here is illustrated at: http://tinyurl.com/kpy5acn http://tinyurl.com/jwwta9t Bob . . . ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:05:42 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

After some conversation with Paul Dye, I've agreed to offer a continuous flow of material for the magazine's pages. Some of you may remember Paul from his offering of this technique for crafting an annunciator panel http://tinyurl.com/mrockg7 I have written a dozen or so articles for S.A. and did some critical review for articles proposed by others . . . But after they published these two bombs http://tinyurl.com/ke3bq9d http://tinyurl.com/5hug5 and then failed to remit promised payment for an article cranked out at a dead-run to fill a gap generated by another author, I decided to part ways with S.A. I'm looking forward to a much more pleasant and productive association with Kitplanes.
