Chapter 22 Electrical - Audio Panel - headset jack install.

Test fitting.  Still deciding where to mount the SDS interface.
PS Engineering unit with custom harness.
Plate for audio jacks.  Version 2.

Printing on the wires identifies function, jack, pin and colors.
The wires need to be fed through this back shell before pinning the connector.  Doh!
One connector done.  The other needs depinned. 
Unit secured in tray with jacks connected to the back plane.
Test fit is good.   Jack doesn't interfere with canopy strut.

Neat features.  Multiple music sources available.

Paired a phone and tested charging, bluetooth streaming music and caller ID.  Phone capability is handy for IFR clearances over the phone and other pertinent calls.

Chapter 22 Electrical System progress

The nose gear harness was a rats nest.  The previous builder had some assistance from Jack.  Not all the colors matched the schematic.   Took an evening to untangle and lace it up nice.  Tested the emergency extend function.

I soldered and used heat shrink on some of the bare splices in the nose gear harness. 

There's approximately 70 wires for probes, EI and EFI not including the shield ground wires.

The white enamel paint on the motor mount is going to need touched up.
