location of GRT backup battery

[tonyjohnson]

I am looking for a position to mount my GRT backup battery in my 8A.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Mine is bolted to the inboard face of F-814A-L-1, just forward of the F814G-1 seat belt anchor. The battery and wiring (with a fused output) are accessed by raising what ever rear stick base cover you may install. I can get in there by removing two #6 screws.

Good location

Dan,

That is an excellent location. Thanks for that tip. If you have a pic of that I would love to see it.

Not much to see Tony, just the battery laying on its side with the tabs attached to the rail. I think I placed a strip of rubber between the battery case and belly skin.

I am trying to get the picture in my mind of the position of the d connector and fuse with respect to the opening around the stick. I think I got it.

Where have you been??

Tony,

How're things going with the panel? We were talking about you the other day and wondering when you'd be flying.

Going to send a note to our little group to perhaps meet at Sebring for breakfast on Sat. morning. See if you can talk Bill into a ride along.
