I shortened/moved the IBBS wire bundle (which also needed labeling the wires), the CO detector bundle, and the yaw trim bundle:

I also finished the roll servo breakout connector, keeping it as DB15 with the same pinout as the GSA28 itself so that I can directly plug the CAN bus terminator to it:

I then finally wired the EFII display connector and circuit breakers (may still need some cleanup/bundling later):

After securing the main bundle to the panel, I wired all the switches:

and then updated the power connections to reflect both the VP-X bank analysis I mentioned in the previous post and the updates for the Ziptip Vegas (as well as shortening the long bundles):

Unrelated to the wiring, there was a discussion about the 120° clearance cone required for the GHA15, which made me measure it again for my install - it is indeed close to the main gear, but just about clears it - I could increase the clearance a bit by moving the antenna a few inches forward, but that'd require relocating the fuel pumps too (at least moving them up to clear the antenna connector), which I wanted to avoid:

Next, I'll finish the power wiring by also shortening the fuse block wires, and all the ground wires (which also need to be labeled, none of them currently are). I decided to not try to shorten the GAD29 wires, but that'll be the only long bundle left. I also need to update some of the light switches for the Vegas ziptips (adding the recognition lights, and moving the wig-wag to the taxi light switch).
With this, I'll be doing the long, tedious work of doing a continuity check on all the in-panel connections (I'll later do the same for the tailcone and overhead connections, once I've finished the breakout connectors) - maybe by the next post I'll be able to turn on some of the avionics again.
