Hooked up Alternate Air Cable

I hooked up the alt air cable tonight.  The cable is anchored to the oil return lines on both cylinders #2 and #4.  I will have to replace the white silicone adel clamps with standard black rubber ones because the silicone ones can move around a little, but all this has to come apart when the panel is pulled out of the plane for painting/ labeling.  You can also see that the aft end of the visible cable dips down and comes very close to the EGT probe.  I’ll probably fashion a small bracket to keep the cable going straight back until aft of the baffles.

With the cable pulled all the way back, you can see how the door opens.  The door rubs on the #2 cylinder oil return line while opening, but this will only be opened in an emergency and during the annual inspection, so it will not be an issue.
