I'm going to begin our panel upgrade next week and I'm trying to "chair fly" this project so I can be a little better organized. When I had the RV-7, we added a Skyview and so all of the current wiring stayed in place and some new wiring was added. This time, we're taking our pure round gage (Westach) RV-8 and bringing it into the 21st century. Pretty much all of the engine gages, fuel gages and ammmeter, along with their associated lighting, will be removed and replaced with Dynon.. It would seem to me that the easiest way to get the old wiring out is to cut it at the gage and then, after making sure the anything securing the wires is removed, simply pull the wire forward towards the associated sensor. Does that make sense? The new Dynon harness will then be routed to the sensors. I can easily remove any unused grounds from a easily accessible ground strip.
Any hints?
