I've been mounting the many little Garmin boxes on my sub-panel and am beginning to run the various wires forward through the firewall. A few questions:
On the -8, I built a bent aluminum bracket which I riveted to the firewall. I just happened across this alternative idea the other day:

- Page 43-12 Figure 2 shows the WH-P909 running back from the alternator through the firewall. Where does it connect?
- I received a shunt from Stein with my Garmin sensor kit and have ordered a 60amp ANL fuse and mount. My understanding is that the P909 will actually run to the fuse and then I'll make up another short wire to run from the fuse to the shunt and an additional short wire to run from the shunt to the starter relay. Is that correct? If it is, can the shunt-to-relay wire share the P912's post (43-04 Figure 1)?
- P912 is shown on 43-01 penetrating the firewall, but where does it connect? I'm assuming that it should be hooked to the empty terminal on Stein's main bus strip. That's a 4-post buss bar with two posts used by the avionics relay and one by a wire labeled "main bus."
- The GEA24 EGT & CHT sensor wires are quite long - can I simply cut them to the needed length or must they remain full-length? I seem to remember from my last project that those wires shouldn't be shortened, but it's been a long time and I could be completely wrong.
