I have a couple of questions. 1. I've made a sheet metal box of my own design to replace the cheesy plastic thing on the left side of the cockpit. My box splits into a back piece which all the electrical stuff mounts to and a front piece (with the placard about spinning and stuff) which is attached to the back piece with tiny sheet metal screws. It will have three circuit breakers, a 5 A for the ultravision lights under the eyebrow, a 1 A for the new map light, and another 1 A for a noise cancelling headset power outlet. The question: How should I mount the box to the honeycomb? I don't want to drill, and I don't want to glue the box on so I can't get it off. I need access to the back of the back piece to attach or remove the light. I'm thinking click bond studs, which may be way over kill. Other suggestions? 2. Using Gary's wiring diagram, I'm considering running the map light off of 51LA2 and putting a switch (also connected to 51LA2) to turn the dome light on with 5LA5. That puts the map light and new breaker in series with the 5 A fuse mounted on the battery box. Is this a big no no? (two failure points, but only for non essential lights, still...) Maybe I need to run a new wire from the bus to run the light through the breaker, and just use 51LA2 and 5LA5 for the dome light alone. I have to run a new wire to the bus for the ultravisions anyway so I could just create a mini bus inside my box for the three new breakers. Any suggestions? Comments? 3. I hate the cheesy red lights on the two side panels and on the standard eyebrow and plan to dump them and just keep the compass light. I'm guessing that 51LB6 is the left side light which will be eliminated and that 51LB4 goes to both the compass light and the right side panel light. Is that correct? Thanks for any suggestions, Jim Hall N9744U (STILL with the crummy factory eyebrow.) ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:58 PM PST US From: TeamGrumman@AOL.COM Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Installing Gary's Eyebrow Jim, you're making it way too complicated. But, I guess to each his own. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message teamgrumman-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/TeamGrumman-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/teamgrumman-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/teamgrumman-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
