J'ai commencé à  mettre au propre tous les branchements autour du moteur.
Cela commence par les câblages du coté gauche.




Puis j'ai refait le freinage de la goulotte de remplissage d'huile. Il m'a fallu quelques essais pour que cela soit correct.




Et voici les branchements du coté de l'alternateur.

Aujourd'hui j'ai fais les étanchéités sur la cloison pare-feu. Il y a tous les petits passages (antenne GPS, commande de la prise d'air secours, prise de pression d'admission) mais surtout les deux gros passe-câbles.
J'ai tout d'abord bouché l'intérieur du passage, voici le coté moteur.




Et voici le coté cabine.




J'ai ensuite entouré le tout de gaine anti-feu avant de tout mastiquer. Le lien sera remplacé par une bride dès que j'en aurais acheté.

I installed the left scat tube by bolting together the clamps and the small angle. This proved a bit more difficult than expected as its not very easy to hold the clamp closed and the insert the bolt and install the waher and nut.

I found a thread on VAF about the installation of the threaded rod. This is a copy of the explanation, the important thing being the position of the thread of the bolt relative to the lever.



So I turned the bolt around on the mixture lever.



I then drilled the firewall for the penetration of the alternate door actuation cable. The hole is covered with a stainless steel shield I fabricated. I took a fraction of the time it took last time to produce the shield.



I then installed the cable on the filter air box. The picture shows the alternate air door closed.



An this is the door in the open position, which allows non filtered air to enter the engine in case the sccop or the filter gets blocked.
Once open, the door can only be closed after landng only.



I then dicide to work on the cabin side of the engine controls installation. Befor that I noticed that the forward fairing can no lay flat due to an interference qith one of the fuel pump tubings (the large tubing opposite the nutplate). Some more work for later.



I also drilled the holes in the small forward fairing.
One can then see that all the cables will have to be installed from the panel through all the holes to the engine, as the knobs are larger than all the holes I drilled.

The mixture cable has been installed on the injection body. I had to add a washer to widen the gap between the bearing and the lever.
I have to check the bolt orientation, I've read something on VAF about that.



This is how the cable goes through the firewall. I found a small problem as I had drilled the ball for the Vans cable, but the one I have to use has no protective sleeving so the diameter is a bit smaller. For the time being I just wrapped it in some tape, I will arrange this at final installetion.



I then installed the blast tubes. This is the one for the fuel pump, secured with a cotter pin.



This is on the engine side, the one with the cotter pin, for the fuel pump and the other one for the left magneto.
