Hi Alan,
It will work. Flight Design and a few others do it just this way. Make sure the
main bolt with the ground wire in the engine compartment that goes through into
the instrument panel with the other main ground wire is nice and tight. A less
than tight bolt can make your instruments jump around. Some use a long bolt
and just put the ground wire eyelets over them and nut it down, you could use
two bolts with a jumper if you have too many wires and Aircraft Spruce sells
a ground block that you can use that has spade push on connectors.

Hi Barry, Rodger.
I have posted photo so you can see what I am doing.
Basically I am fitting a Fuel flow meter to the aircraft, my plan is for me to
make up the gauge panel plus some illuminated switches and do all the cosmetic
work plus fitting all the components in place like the 2 senders and get it wired
up, keeping the plane flyable so as I can use it.
Then at a later stage get my inspector to come over, and finish off, do the fuel
pipe line work, flow tests, and sign it off.
As you can see lots of grounds wires from the switch LEDs, etc,
I can make about 4 or 5 lugs per terminal, this is why I want to make use of the
terminal blocks fixing bolts, and use them as extra terminals,
And yes they do fix into Fibre Glass,
I am thinking it will be all OK , but just to be sure but this post in.
Regards.
Alan

Not clear what type of terminal block you mean but if you are
using the fixing bolts make sure you clamp the ring terminals between nuts
not against the fiber glass.
As you are in UK Parts for aircraft sell busbar blocks with 5, 8 & 10
terminals. & aircraft grade wire

Are you using coloured aircraft or pvc ?

Hi,
Its a 10 pin terminal block, and yes I would bolt the eyelets up between the nuts.
I can see no reason why this should not be fine, all bolted up tightly together.
But I had this thought in my head.
It was just a thought that maybe not using the terminal block itself, but using
the fibre glass of the instrument panel may induce some electrical charge into
it, and make it more sensitive to a lighting strike, most probably not , but
just wanted to check it out.
As you mentioned "Parts For Aircraft", I like to give credit where credit is due.
I find Parts for Aircraft a very helpful and honourable company to deal with, and
would recommend them for any parts you may need.
Regards.
Alan
