We also connected the remaining wires to the alternator regulators, and regretted again installing them behind the subpanel due to the gymnastics required to do this:
Alternator regulator with wires connected to it
Alternator regulators with all wires bundled up and connected to them
Lying upside-down to organize and connect the alternator regulator wires
I also finished installing and torquing the engine grounding straps:
Grounding strap secured to both engine and mount
I tested the LED strip position to see if I'd need to cut it to reduce glare (apparently not), and ran the wire through the panel with the tiniest snap bushing I could find, which turned out to be 0.19" OD. The wires will be hidden between the metal and carbon fiber parts of the panel:
Testing LED strip with white light
Testing LED strip with red light
LED strip wires running through the panel and connected to the strip
The Mountain High O2 system has an emergency O2 valve - the valve itself is in the regulator (attached to the tank), but it's pneumatically actuated (supposedly so it works even in a total electrical failure?), so I had to run the tubes for the emergency O2 switch into the panel:
Emergency O2 control tubes connected to the switch
Emergency O2 control tubes running through the panel to the switch
In case you're wondering if I'm fully done with avionics - of course not :) the wiring never ends...
