(user9253) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 11:27:31 AM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Grounding shielded wire 1/4 from one side? From: "rparigoris" Hi Group I have a question about running a shielded wire to ground. On my Rotax 914 it has 2 shielded wires going from the Ducati ignition modules to the ignition ACS switch. The shield is connected to the ignition switch and is used to ground the Ducati ignition modules. Where the shielded wires go into the ignition connectors things get pretty tight and need to make sharp bends for several inches. The 2 shielded wires run right by my FWF ground field of tabs about 1/4 the total length from the ignition modules. Is there anything wrong with carefully removing the insulation on the shielded wires, wrapping ground wire to shield and carefully soldering then connect to field of tabs?: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ah1S270Nwg9V3VSqwoGL7YgsYS7Z?e=EsKSit Thx.

I think they're showing up on the list. I see any original post I make to the Matronics lists, but for some reason, they do not show me my responses to others' posts. However, if I click on the 'view message online' link, I can see that my post came through.
