Ignition work
I have the the new lightspeed Plasma II+ controller installed on the back side of the firewall slightly above the rudder pedals on the pilot’s side. I made some “Z” brackets and Tanya helped me rivet them on to the firewall. That required some seriously expert riveting on both sides. I have the ignition coil wires and crank sensor trigger wires rough run. I needed to cut off the 15pin d-sub connector for routing through the firewall so I’m about ready to reinstall that.
I got the new tach sensor from Vans with a 12″ extension cable. I still need to make a mounting location for it. I found that there is not enough room to even think about installing the tach cable on the back of the accessory case without removing the SD-20 backup alternator on the vacuum pad. So it looks like I’ll be doing that as well. It looks like after the backup alternator is removed, I’ll be able to install the tach cable, then reinstall the alternator. I think it will all fit, the assembly sequence is just a bit of a pain.
