I got an order from McMaster Carr that included some more silicone adel clamps along with some tefzel zip-ties. \u00a0I installed a few to secure all of the wires near the right firewall pass-through.<\/p>\n

This nicely tidied up the EGT, CHT, and Lightspeed Ignition wires running across the upper engine mount tube.<\/p>\n

I also replaced a bunch of the temporary nylon zip-ties with the tefzel. \u00a0Regular nylon zip-ties are only good up to about 185\u00ba F. \u00a0Black, UV stabilized zip-ties are better at up to 221\u00ba F, but tefzel is good up to 300\u00ba F. \u00a0There are even higher rated zip-ties such as PEEK which is good to 500\u00ba F, but they’re over $3 per zip-tie! \u00a0All of the wire insulation in the plane is also tefzel insulated, so if it’s hot enough that these zip-ties melt, I’ll have other problems.<\/p>\n

I also finished up the Dynon GPS mounting bracket. \u00a0I put a gentle radius in the lower flange to follow the curve of the engine mount and drilled a few lightening holes. \u00a0I then primed and painted it gloss white.<\/p>\n
