when I tried to mount the GPS to the F-1201Z bracket I could not
find any holes that matched the ones in the reciever, has anyone
had this problem?

Default Missing something here Help!

As I went to pull some additional wires thru the wings this morning, I looked for instructions - and found none!
I have a roll of wire, the new blue connectors, and no instructions on how to do all that. Not sure, I THINK I saw something earlier, but cannot recall if it was on this thread, or actual papers. What piece of paper actually gets into the wiring of the blue connectors and the wing wiring? I think I am safe to run two additional wires thru each wing for starters.

Don

I have a copy of section 31A in PDF format that should answer your question. Send me a PM with your email address and I will forward it to you

A non-functioning Transponder problem is likely solved. Bad adapter cable. See this post and check your adapter cable. http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...416#post652416

Yes, Don, you need those two additional wires to selective chose between strobe and/or nav lights. The connection of the wires to the new wing connectors is laid out on page 42D-23. You'll find a lot of answers to retrofit questions in 42D. However, you have to browse through it to find it, as there's no index of any kind.

As usual, I had the instructions all along. I had inserted the section 30 instructions for the wing connectors and had forgotten about it.

In general, the function of the F-1201Z adapter plate is a puzzle to me.

For one thing, the elaborately punched set of various size holes do not, as noted, align with the GPS receiver antenna, nor with the firewall bracket, nor do they correspond in location or number with what is shown in the pictures - Figs 1 & 2 on Page 42C-17. (That doesn't leave much!)

What IS the function? It appears to be to move the GPS antenna forward about 1.5 inches. If that is true, then will installing it on the existing firewall bracket create a problem - perhaps a truncated view of the GPS constellation satellites in the aft direction?

Oh - one more thing - installing the AN509 screws from the bottom is contrary to standard aeronautical practice, and also puzzling.
