This is an RV-8A QB fuselage firewall/wiring question. Grove brake reservoirs (not on the firewall), fuel injected (no gascolator and fuel primer solenoid), aft-mounted battery and master contactor.
I'm not working on firewall forward stuff yet but would like to mount my starter solenoid while I'm doing electrical wiring. DWG OP-11 shows a location for it but instead can I use the nutplates installed in my QB intended for the brake reservoir as shown in the image?
While I'm asking questions:
1. What's the purpose of the two pre-punched holes below and to the right of the temporarily mounted starter solenoid? Can I use either or both of them for the battery cable (aft battery installation) and solenoid control wires? OP-11 shows locations to drill holes for that wiring but I'd like to use one or both of these holes if they're not earmarked for something special later.
2. Can I mount my engine ground block/forest-of-tabs in the space designated for the original starter solenoid location? My concern is that I'll run into interference issues when I do mount the engine.
Thanks,
Joe
