Brief Description: Oil Breather Tube / Routing EGT/CHT
|
|
Nothing bad or difficult today; just tedium.
Spent quite a bit of time bending the 5052 tubing I recently received for the crankcase oil breather tube. As shown in the picture, the breather cap is angled to the pilot's side a bit, and the rear fence baffle zig-zags a bit as well. Easy bends, but lots of trial-and-error to get the fit right. I used a spring type tubing bender; wasn't the smoothest, and created a few very small kinks, but all in all it did a nice job. Decided to go with 2 separate pieces split at the baffle. The 2nd pic shows the piece that goes to the top of the air/oil separator. 5/8" ID rubber tube and hose clamps will secure it, as well as the piece from the bottom of the separator down to the exit under the cowl.
Got a lot done with routing and re-routing wires in order to secure them to the motor mount. The CHT and EGT probes are not to be cut to length, so there's quite a bit of excess to plan for. I'm going to bundle some near the RDAC, which can be seen in the 3rd pic. I haven't finished with the final tying-down, but is good for the general idea.
