Thanks However in your 2nd picture one cannot see how the 3 conduits pass through the F-1004 C & D Center section bulkheads (the plans show only two 5/8" holes), or did you stop the conduits there and only continued the electric wires forward of those bulkheads? Do you have a picture that shows forward of those bulkheads?

Note - where these lines pass through the rear seat pan or ribs I used an adhesive to make sure there was no relative motion between the corrugated conduit and the aluminum. On the side lightning holes I added large rubber grommets in the lighting holes. I figured I needed two runs on each side, but added a third just in case. I ended up using it. I have the two ADHRS modules mounted aft of the baggage compartment as most do, so they have two 1/4" lines from the wing going aft (pitot and AOA) and two going from aft up to the panel (pitot and static) as I have a couple of analog gauges in the panel. All wire and tubing runs are in the conduit including the #2 welding cable from both masters to the starter solenoid.

The conduit ends after it goes forward through the side rib lighting holes (the ones where I installed the large grommets). Forward of that the runs just use snap bushings like Van's has in his plans. I think I had to add one additional hole on one side. Note - there is no way to get all the wires and such past the panel bulkhead just using the left side (with the supplied cover plate) per the planes. I ran a 1" or so wire bundle up the inside of the last right side rib then past the panel bulkhead in the side channel. I slightly enlarged the panel notch that straddles the side channel for added clearance. I used some plastic mesh conduit for this run. Most of it is hidden behind the little side cover plate (photos #8 & #9).

Great excuse when we see you all manicured for Oshkosh. We know it was your wife's idea to see her "stylist". I bet you somehow got epoxy on your eyebrows and it made them just perfect when you yanked it off. ;) Sent from my iPhone On Jun 14, 2013, at 5:42 AM, Tim Olson wrote: > > Hillarious!
