Breaker

[Ron B.]

I was adding a second COM today requiring removal of my pilot side panel. When I touched my 5 amp. breaker that runs my Lightspeed ignition, it was all loose. I do not recall hitting it but it does sit out in the open all by itself so I suppose it could have been hit. The threaded portion that fastens the breaker to the panel broke out of it's plastic casing. I chose the isolated spot so the breaker would not get into the confusion of all the other components as it is the most critical component of all the wiring.
When I reinstall a new one I will be fabricating a protective box that will also provide strain relief for the two 18 gauge wires. At only 43 hrs. on my RV-14A , I was disappointed to find such a thing but sure am glad to find it on the ground.
