Please help me work through this.
1. I am reusing my old Westach EGT/CHT thermocouples, type J & K. They
appear to be shielded and have 48" leads and will need new terminals.
2. I have a pre-fab TC harness from Stein Air (for Dynon), which is made
from a non-copper wire. It seems to be pretty stiff. The EGT lead wires,
under the sheath, are rust/yellow. The CHT wires are rust/white. This
harness wire is way too long and needs to be shortened.
My questions are:
A. Due to the crazy airframe, it is not uncommon to pull the engine at
annual inspection time. What would be the best connector to use? Could I
use a D-sub? The connection to the D180 is a 25 pin D-sub.
B. For temperature accuracy purposes, would it be better to position the
connector forward or aft of the firewall? The most convienient would be
forward.
Thanks, in advance.
