Default Running wires through the fuse - Analysis Paralysis!

Hi Folks,

I am just finishing up fuse with the finish kit waiting in the garage and I'm having analysis paralysis when it comes to wiring. Would you mind sharing any pictures of your wire runs through the airplane? Things like:

- Where did you run the magnetometer wires to the tail? How did you secure the connector so it wouldn't rattle around?
- How about tail lights? Did you run those next to the magnetometer line? Got any pics of them running through the fuse?
- Did you use connectors on the lights? Which ones? Any pics?
- Connectors on the flap position sensor or motor? pics?
- Boost pump?
- In general, pics of wire runs, how they got safetied, etc would be great!

Thanks!

Lots of photos from my project here.

I used either Molex connectors or DB-9 connectors on everything.
