Trial Engine Mount
Mounted the Polini to get an idea of where to locate firewall pass-thrus. (Yes, Chris has informed me that the firewall is mounted upside-down ... will fix).
I have a 12VDC 5 Amp-hr motorcycle battery that I will locate on the cockpit floor centered against the firewall and secured via a large cable tie. I pass the wires thru the firewall via two rubber grommets insulating AN3 bolts to which I attach the battery wires and the engine connections. The "terminals" thus give me locations on both sides of the firewall for power connections. (Will position and mount the engine relay later.)
I have the fuel-line pass thru via a rubber grommet on the stb side to an elbo to my inline fuel filter thence to the Polini fuel pump which I mounted with cable clamps to a cross-member of the welded engine mount provided by Chris.
Currently availing myself of the unseasonably warm weather (yippie) to install the upper and lower flapperon droppers in the stb wing. Pictures to follow.
