engine wiring and control cables
I feel like I’m just tinkering with little details again. I covered the wires that snake around the bottom of the engine that go to the alternator and starter with fire sleeve. They are secured to the sump with adel clamps. Added two braided ground straps, one very short just to the engine mount, the other is longer that goes to the firewall. I also worked out the hardware details of the engine control cable hookups. I found that the cabin sub-panel extension that I did for securing the control cables still wasn’t low enough so I had to work up a little bolt post to suspend the control cables another inch lower. The symptom became obvious when I hooked up the cables to the carb and there wasn’t enough slack in the cabin to get the center tunnel cover (with the holes for the cables) on. It worked out.
I cut the carb heat control cable to length. I used some simple bypass cutters to cut the jacket. I had intended to just roughly cut it to length, then clean it up with the dremel. I was amazed to find that I didn’t need to tough the cut end. It was perfect by simply chopping it off with the cutters.
