Maybe someone smarter than I can figure this out...

Your link worked for me. FWIW, I gave up on Google Photos long ago. They don't have BBC code for embedding in forum posts! Now I use Flickr.

Cool Katie. Thanks for the pics.

Just to tag on to the thread, I've got juustttttt a bit of extra wire to use for service loops, these are to the light switches along the bottom of the panel. Don't have much room to secure service loops since they're on the bottom, anyone want to share how they secured theirs?


TIA

Take what you have and roll into a loop about 2" diameter then tie wrap it. It wont go anywhere, and you can also tie it off to an adjacent wire bundle to keep from flapping. I cant post pictures, but I have service loops on everything..standard practice.

The lengths of service loops is a judgement call. I only added service loops to the wires where I had to move the instrument to make the connection like the EFIS. On those instruments where I had easy access to attach/remove the wires without moving the instrument I added enough wire to make a comfortable connection, but not a 'service loop' length.

Here is a photo of all of the harness connections as installed prior to connection. As you can see the rearward wires are longer because the screen has to be pulled out and laid face down for easy access to the connectors;



This is an image of all if the engine sensor wires coming into the GEA24. There is no service loop, however there is enough length to allow working on the connector itself (as I had to do since I connected all of the thermocouples reversed) without much drama.
