Looks ready!!
Good job Bill! I look forward to reading about first flight.
In the photos I noticed an adel clamp on the upper left firewall area. What will it be for?

Thanks gagarin737 for the information on the pilot and copilot wiring
connections. I will try to get the wiring diagrams off Van's web sight.
I hope the diagrams also solve the autopilot disconnect problem.

That clamp is for the to-be-relocated Honeywell oil pressure sensor - a mod thoroughly discussed in the "Modifications" thread. I already obtained and sized that oil line and so the post-certification swap will only take a few minutes.
If you look in that thread you will see that people have co-mounted the relocated sensor with the fuel pressure sender. Unfortunately, the new fuel pressure sender is mounted on a revised bracket from Van's - so that clamp you see is held by an AN bolt to the engine EMS box on the other side of the firewall, replacing a screw.

Thanks Bill
Bill,
Unfortunate about the Rotax accessories. Fuel pump, fuel pressure sender and oil pressure sender, all have had issues. I too did the fuel pressure sender now and will allow the others to function until failure. Seems to be a poor way to function in an aviation environment with safety so high on the preparation check list. Some have had no problems so one can only hope and be vigilant. 
I too will look up the information on the sender adel clamp size and have it ready.

Another one delivered today
Finally got my Skyview kit this morning, only one harness on back order. Exceptional job of packing by Vans as usual. All inventoried and ready to start work now.

Relief!
I'm not sure why I have been so "emotionally" involved, but I have been hanging out for you to receive your avionics kit!
I sort of breathed a sigh of relief reading your post.
Looking forward to reading your progress and then first flight.
I enjoy your posts quite a bit.
Regards
John

Don,
I'm happy to see you've received your kit! Hopefully you'll feel like it was worth the wait....keep us posted as to your progres!

PS, I'm fairly certain you'll have your backordered harness before you know it!

I have to admit, it was worth the wait. The work and attention to detail that has gone into this kit is outstanding. When you realize that Vans had to make it fit RV12's of various stages of construction, that was quite a task for sure, for instance mine is one that has to have some things pulled back out and tossed to make room for the new. I sure cannot do it as fast as Bill did, but I am going to try.
