Overhead wiring conduit cleanup

I installed the center cabin brace:

Due to a slight miscalculation :D the forward conduit exits were right against the bulkhead attachment screws and nuts:

To fix that, we carved out the tip of that opening (while keeping the walls, and created a new thick passage away from it, filling the rest with resin+flox:

I rounded the edges of the holes, applied primer again, and installed the top screws - with that I was ready to run the overhead wiring:

I also match-drilled the switch pod in place:

I wanted to have some kind of cover for the wires that go into the console near the top, so in order to get the right shape and angles, I 3D scanned that area to design one:

Next I'll actually make and print that design.

Time lapse:


Total cabin cover rivets: 458
Total cabin cover time: 173.2h
