Wings, fuselage mounting continued…

Wingtip nutplate installation in process. Lots of holes to drill and countersink prior to riveting nutplates in place.

With all of the nutplates riveted, I installed the nav light mount seen here.

Unfortunately, I then discovered that the electrical connector half (of the awful, open-barrel “Molex” type) received with the wing kit last summer and installed back when I built the wing doesn’t match the connectors included with the very nice AeroLED nav lights. A typical Van’s situation.

Rather than wait for a matching connector half to arrive, I think I’ll trash the original Molex half and go with the matching bits from the nav light box. A project for tomorrow…
