| Subject: | Re: Choice of circuit breaker, where to install radio modules? |
As an ex UK MOD avionic/electronics apprentice, I used Raychem wire, 18AWG for
power and 22AWG for signal (farmel 134-892)
I used white wire with small plastic coloured/numbered sleeves on the ends for
identification.
I used reasonable quality (gold turned pin) solder D connectors with sleeves on
the terminals to go through the bulkheads and connect the dash to other wiring
but in retrospect crimped would have been better.
Where possible I used crimped ring terminals (the best quality I could afford)
and made a 'quiet' and 'noisy' grounds and power using brass studs star points
in the dash with very thick short wires through to the battery.
I tie wrapped or laced the wires to form looms.
I managed to get hold of some similarly insulated screened signal wire (4 wire)
for sensitive bits like mic cables.
I the breakers I used were standard industrial thermal magnetic pop out/reset types.
I can't see a problem with where you intend to mount the radio. I think I would
probably be more concerned with the routing of the mic wires than the loss in
the feed to the antenna though. I sort to keep those short but then I used the
Funkwerk integrated units.
Surprised you want to move weight back. Mine would probably benefit from weight
being moved forward - seems to fly better 2 up.
