Installed Sump Plug and Mixture Bellcrank

I received my AN932-5D plug from General Aircraft Hardware.  $17 bucks shipped was kind of a ripoff, but the alternatives would have been even more expensive.  I had to grind off about 3/64″ from the visible face here to get the surface flush with the sump.  After installing it, I used the touch-up paint that came with my engine to paint the exposed aluminum face to match the engine.  I then installed the mixture bellcrank to the sump.

I also regreased the pivot point and installed the cotter pins in the pivot bolt and the output bearing bolt.  The other end of the output shaft is still loose until I get the replacement servo arm from Precision Airmotive.

I’m pretty swamped with our developer conference at work, so progress will be slow for the rest of the week, but I’m still trying to get a few things done here and there.
