With the mounting bracket painted, I installed it on the engine mount.
The EGT and CHT wires from cylinders 1 and 3 run under the bracket and pick up the GPS wires.
There is still plenty of access to the back of the engine for oil changes and maintenance. I like this approach so much better than the shelf that many builders go with.
I then finished up securing the wires along the top left engine mount tube. This bundle picks up the oil temperature sensor, manifold pressure sensor, oil pressure sensor and fuel pressure sensor wires along the way.
I’ve been working on my panel layout on and off for many months. I’m happy with it now, so I started transferring it to the panel this afternoon. You can’t see much here, but my computer model was perfect. Everything fits exactly as it should with the clearances I determined in the computer.
Here’s a rendering of the panel from the modeling software. The only thing not pictured here is the hobbs meter.
