I am working on my wire runs from the firewall to the battery. I am trying to keep most of my heavy power runs down the left side and my more sensitive stuff down the right. Now that my floors/seats etc are closed up I have found that the the snap bushing previously installed through the rear spar blkhd and the fuse blkhd on the left side ( Ref 26-6 ) are not nearly adequate for the wires I wish to run. My 2awg wire from the batt to the firewall area is all that will fit. If you're planning on running multiple wires down the left side to the tailcone area I suggest thinking about it before this area is closed up. On another subject! I have revamped and finalized my instrument panel setup. I have available ( new in boxes ) the following items if anyone is interested. 1. JPI EDM-700-6C all bayonet probes + OAT + Carb temp probe ( $1400 ) 2. EI FP-5L fuel computer w/GPS interface, FT-60 fuel flow, FM-FP fuel press module ( $700 ). 3. EI SC-5 Super clock ($200). 4. CI-159-C LOC/GS antenna ( $ 200 ). 10flyer@verizon.net Mark. (40016) No virus found in this outgoing message.

You mentioned snap bushings. On the RV-7, Van's calls out SB-625-7 snap bushings in lots of places. Do yourself a favor and wherever one of these is called out, just put an SB-625-8 in its place. The extra 1/16" of clearance can make a big difference if you're trying to cram wires through. It may mean you can run 2 or 3 more wires through, depending on wire size of course. Might make your life easier years later, too, if you plan on adding anything. Spruce sells the 625-8 snap bushings. Hope this helps, )_( Dan RV-7 N714D http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Chamberlain" <10flyer@verizon.net> Subject: RV10-List: Wire Runs > --> RV10-List message posted by: "Mark Chamberlain" <10flyer@verizon.net> > > Food for thought, for those of you working on the fuselage section prior to putting the baggage floors or rear seat pans in yet.

We have snap busings from 1/8" up to 1". Cheers, Stein Do Not Archive and sorry for the plug. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Dan Checkoway Subject: Re: RV10-List: Wire Runs --> RV10-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" This may or may not apply, but I have a trick I'd like to share.
