| Subject: | Battery Installation and Wire Routing Provisions |
I have two Odyssey PC-625 batteries, one mounted on one each side about
6=99 behind the firewall. The fuel pump is moved off the floor
and mounted vertically to the bulkhead on the left side so the battery
can be mounted to the floor. Running with a 180HP IO-360 and Hartzell
CS prop. This has work out well for me and at least two other RV-8
builders.

Hi Stan,
I would have used the right lower baggage compartment had I thought
about it early enough. I couldn't figure out how to mount the battery
securely after having riveted up the floors.
On the cables in back, I drilled a couple of holes, made doublers for
the bulkheads and think it is pretty secure. I do have a tendency to
over build things, so my bird will not be the lightest. Let me know
what you decide.

I=99m looking for feedback on adding wire routing holes to F-806B
and F-807A. Specifically, I could use an additional set on the right
side so that I can route the transponder antenna cable under the floor.
I have the one set, matching the left side battery cable routing holes,
which I intend to use for ADAHRS and A/P pitch servo cable wire routing.
I=99m planning 1 ea. 5/8=9D dia. hole in F-806B at
2.5=9D outboard of the rudder cable hole and just outboard of the
F-813R-1 Seat Rib in F-807. Van=99s has no comment. Guess the
builder mod=99s here have been too many and varied to analyze each
one. I=99m more than willing to go on past experience.
Also question re battery installation. I=99m going with an O-360
and 3-bladed Catto prop, so I think a forward battery makes sense. Was
looking at the lower right side of the baggage compartment, but that
looks next to impossible in a QB. Has anyone else done that?
Thanks in advance for any and all comments.
