Firewall forward, finish, cowling components in process

Swapped the upper Adel clamp (mounted on the firewall in the center of the photo) for a slightly larger one to accommodate the firesleeved oil pressure hose.

Cover removed from vacuum pump pad to make room for the B&C backup alternator. Holding it in place today made it clear to see that the lower left nut and washers will be nigh on impossible to get started, nevermind torqued. More fun stuff…

Left side EGT probes installed. Wiring to come once the panel and its many boxes have been mounted.
