Most EFIS vendor supplied harness will have a ground wire in the bundle going back
to the EFIS if required. Both egt and cht cables are two conductor and terminate
at the EFIS.
Besides the engine and alternator grounds which can't use faston connectors, I
think I only had a couple faston connectors used for grounding. It really will
depend on what devices you've installed forward of the firewall.
I used a B&C forest of tabs with tabs on both side of the firewall. The cabin
side is 100% full and the engine side only has a couple used.

I too used the B&C Forrest of tabs, but I only used it on the interior of the plane.
I think there were 2-4 grounds I needed FWF and I just ran them back into
the interior.

| Subject: | Re: fuel tank senders |
I played with that a lot until I got it to work right. Also my fuel vent B-nut
was leaking on one tank, so i had to remove the sender again. I've heard of that
happening to so many people with quickbuilt tanks that I probably wouldn't
even proseal in the sender until i put a wrench on that b-nut.
First measure the resistance of the sender with the arm up and down to see what
the maximum travel is both ways.
Insert a loop of a 24 ga tefzel wire through the top hole of the sender and wrap
it around the sender arm in a way that when you pull on the wire it will move
the arm up until it tops out on the skin of the tank. Put in the sender, thread
in all the screws except the top one with the wire. Connect your ohm meter
and see if you get close to full travel.
The original rubber gasket that comes with the sender ends up leaking over time,
so you can skip using that and just use proseal around the sender plate and
the screws. You can later remove the proseal with an acrylic scraper from Spruce
# 12-03310. Cuts nicely and it doesn't scratch the aluminum rib under the sender
plate. Use it as a blade to cut the proseal instead of scraping it.
The last time I removed mine I got tired of the proseal and used screws with integrated viton o-rings (mcmaster #90825A387) and a viton gasket (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0075EBPKS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1). No leaks so far for the last 7 months or so.
At some dumb moment I forgot to put the last 90 degree bend in the float arm wire,
and when I put fuel in the tank the arm twisted in the plastic and dropped
to the bottom of the tank measuring zero fuel... luckily i got back some of my
self respect when i found out on one of the forums that someone else did the
same... Not a lot of fun when on your third flight the fuel in one tank drops
to zero.

| Subject: | Re: Holes in the Landing Gear Mounts |
Another problem with those holes...I can't get them to line up with the holes in
the seat rail and seat bottom. The mid seat rail supports are bolted into the
landing gear mount (after much frustration) but they are half a hole too far
forward. Can't move them back because the rear flanges on the mid seat rail supports
are right up against the landing gear mount and it would be necessary
to elongate the holes in the bottom of the mid seat rail support in any case.
Anyone else with this problem? Solutions?

I always wonder about these folks that think you can just add a 100 or more horsepower
to an airframe and figure there will be no issues...
Seems to me that they didn't ask themselves what their mission profile was before
they chose the -10. If you want to fly in the flight levels at speeds greater
than 200 KTAS, then the -10 is probably not the aircraft for your mission.
Why try and make it something it is not? Especially when it could very well cost
you your life...
