Wiring finishing and wing root connectors

I worked on finishing the main wire bundle attachment and securing the static tubing, and with that almost everything behind the panel is done:

Final attachment of the main wire bundle

Cooling fan wires running through center rib

Final attachment of the main wire bundle and static tubing

For the stick grip connections, I opened holes on the side of the tunnel for CPCs (the left hole will need to wait until I remove the seat to be fully drilled):

CPC attached to forward tunnel for stick grip connection

Stick grip cable routing within the tunnel, secured away from the pushrod and the fuel lines

Finished stick grip wire bundle (except for the connector shells)

I also terminated the wing root connections - those are not sealed connectors ('cause those wouldn't fit), so I'll use the sealed one on the outside to get some partial sealing, and added the sealing gaskets to these:

Left wing root power connector fully assembled

Left wing root connectors installed in place

Right wing root connectors

Right wing root connectors installed in place

Right wing root connectors seen from the outside

Dust covers installed on right wing root connectors

With this, the main part of wiring still left is the overhead console.
