Quick question...doing the wiring harness for my Garmin audio panel, 430W and SL-40 stack (thanks to Stein for providing some really nice harnesses with each radio!). Shields are grounded, per instructions, at the audio panel's chassis ground.
The panel is out getting powdercoated and should be ready tomorrow (Yay!).
So...do I need to make sure there is some electrical connectivity between the radio stack/racks to the panel and thus to airframe ground for this to be correct? I.e., remove some of the powdercoat at screw or mounting bracket contact points? Would not ensuring this path essentially mean these shield grounds are, well, ungrounded and thus ineffective?
I'm guessing the panel will come back completely powdercoated and thus, if nothing is done, would be insulated from airframe ground...
Sorry if this is a silly question...
TIA!
