Don't like the John Deere look to your rudder pedals but don't want to spend a
fortune replacing them? I did this to my RV-6 about 8 years ago and it still
works. Go to your Home Depot aircraft parts store and buy a stair tread, found
in the floor covering area. Cut to fit and glue it on. One tread does all
four pedals. Available in black and dark brown. Total cost: $2.50 (not counting
the glue).

How are people routing the wiring for their fuel pump and potentially their
floscan in the tunnel? Are you routing the wires back and under the seats
or forward and up the fuselage? Just curious what ways people have done
this... pictures are always nice.

Ben,
I think you can go either direction if you want. I ran mine back
and under the seats and forward...that's kind of the long way
around but it did let me keep the tunnel cover pretty
sealed up. You'll notice that the cover has a hole where it
allows your brake lines through. If you run wires up, you'll
want to enlarge and protect the edges of that hole. That
#1 flying RV-10 had wires run up there in a bundle with no
protection between the wires and the tunnel cover, and they
were pushed out and rubbing on the tunnel cover's metal
edge. As long as you take care to protect the wires
and give clearance, you can go that route.
I went the other way just to stay away from that tunnel
cover gap, the lower firewall heat by the exhaust, and
because it was an easy wire run to get under the seats
where I also had control stick wires to route to the
panel anyway.
To each his own on this one.

Tim and Deems have both offered excellent pointers. Dan Checkoway did
quite a bit (his RV7 website) on failures of his wire support brackets
(Clickbond, DP100, 10 minute epoxy, electric tie wraps and two way tape)
along with chafing damage on both wire and sheet aluminum. All of that
in his RV7's first year of operation.
The SFAR88 mods that are such a nemesis at work, are a result of 20th
century (WWII) wiring techniques which needed updating on 21st Century
aircraft. Standoffs, distance between supports, routing, proper size of
wire, bundling techniques, heat buildup and a plethora of data lead me
to say "Ask Stein". A little wire here, a little more wire there and it
adds to grams, to ounces, to pounds, and finally to reduced "Useable"
weight. You can always pencil whip your GW limitation to keep the VANS
approved Useable number (as was recommended by a Hired Gun), "I sure
don't encourage that without Static Loading of the Wings and Landing
Gear to the new penciled number".
The standard is yours to establish.

I see no reason to route the wires aft ..... they'll end up terminating
behind the instrument panel anyway. Unless I'm missing something. What
prompted the question???

Curiosity more than anything. I was thinking that if somebody was dead set
on one way or another they would have a reason and probably say it. I
couldn't quite decide.
After looking at it I've decided to head aft with the wires. I'm also
starting the stick wiring and safety trim this weekend which are going to be
under the seats as well so I'll be able to follow the wiring runs from this.
I'd rather not have to add additional Adel clamps and such up front and
worry about routing up through the tunnel cover. The less I have to crawl
under the dash for in the future is a plus in my opinion.
Thanks for everyone's inputs.
-Ben
Who knows I'll probably change my mind 3 times before I actually proceed.
You know how that goes ;-)

Not sure what most of you have done, but when I saw the extensions supplied with
the kit, I knew I needed something different/better. So I machined a new set
for myself. Then my neighbor, Mark Carey with a flying 10, told he he sure
wished I had made him a set. That was 6 months ago. Last week he called me to
tell me that after a hard landing, he broke one of the extensions. So, long
story short, I gave him mine, and am now making more. Made out of Aluminum
6061T6, using an AN5 bolt to bolt to the axle nut, instead of the stk AN4. All
that's left to do from the user end is drill out the attach hole in the nut,
install the AN5 bolt, and drill for a cotter pin.
I am initially making 15 sets and am giving them away for $40 a set including shipping.
