Ok Ok

made a bit of a screw up with the HT cables (way too short - need to get some more)

I have been looking for those merc filters and cannot seem to get anywhere - Anybody got some Idea's :?:

Have started to redo the wiring, removed the old mess and started with fresh install - found some wires that had burned through a fire waiting to start. (**)

Just before the storm hit I did the following.

Fitted the instruments (almost perfect) some holes need to be closed - anybody know how to close holes in Fiberglass :?: :?:

Wiring done on motor side. Now just need to do the Pod side then the fun starts :-D

Wow keep it up at the end of the day you will have a great depth of understanding of your own aircraft,something that never really comes about when you buy a new aerie. By the way Auntie Sue is instructor rated on the Gemini-call me if you need me.

Sue, you should be running a repair shop..........not a flight school.. vhpy

Just a pointer though........your procedure above should only be used on smallish holes such as where old screws and bolts were. Bigger ones (such as where another instrument used to be) won't work and you should sand off the paint (the shiny stuff) around the hole before putting on superglue. It will eventually just crack off if you don't.
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two

Sue you are a Darling ^*^^ ^*^^

I will definately take you up on that offer. s023

The Superglue direction will not work.
I need to repair holes about one Inch in Diameter. Too many holes for old switches and Aerials and Fuse holders. ## ##
I think i will initially see if the Superglue thing works on the Fuse holes if not then it is the hard way :? :?
