Continued Wiring

This evening I soldered the parts needed to provide an audio jack for a video camera.  With the audio jack the radio communications can be recorded along with the picture.  I purchased the parts from Radio Shack.  They consist of a stereo audio jack and 2-47 ohm resisters.  Spare wires were included on the co-pilot wiring harness which connect the audio jack to the communications system.  I soldered the parts to the wires and activated shrink wrap over the resisters.   
 
 
After that I painted the inside of the turtle deck skins and hung them in the garage to dry.
 
I routed the auto pilot servo wires from the optional wire harness through the seat ribs and through the opening in the rib next to the roll servo mounting location.  I stripped the ends of the wires.  I pulled out the auto pilot servo wire bundle and stripped one end of these wires.  I crimped matching colored wires into the appropriate male and female spade connectors.  I then routed the servo wire bundle through the opening and through the seat ribs, through the tunnel and cushioned clamp at  the fuel pump and trough the rear bulkhead.
 
The network of wires continues to grow and I am not finished yet.  I need to bring the trim tab wire bundle and the static tube forward through the tunnel to the instrument shelf.  In the mean time, the wires seem to be multiplying.
