This evening I
regrouped and got a fresh start. I
installed a new pull-string several feet longer than the wing. Then I attached each wire,
one-at-a-time. I left a couple of inches
between each attachment point. This way
there was not a large junction point to pull through the snap bushings. I attached all 3-wires and then the
pull-string. I very carefully pulled the
sting through. When the first wire
emerged at the tip I went to the wing root and clamped the end so it could not
move any further. I then disconnected
this wire and pulled the next one through.
I repeated the process until all of the wires and pull-string were
through. I tied the pull string around
the ground wire at the wing tip and around a pair of lightening holes at the
root. I stripped the ends of the tip
wires and crimped on the Molex pins, inserted the pins into the Molex
connectors and snapped them together. I
then went to the wing root and hooked up my test battery. All of the lights work!
Next I attached
the floating connector pins to the wires at the wing root. I inserted the connector pins into the
floating connector and attached it to the wing root.
I checked the
lights again with the test battery. They
Work!
I primed the wing
electrical brackets and using the wing electrical template, drilled the holes
in the seat pan. I also tapped the
brackets for the 8-32 screws. I
installed the electrical brackets to the seat pans using locktite on the treads
of the screws.
We replaced the right wing on the wing rack and put
the left wing on the saw horses. I
removed the tip light and the wing root connections. I also pulled a
new pull-string into the wing with the WH-B212 wire. I am ready to pull in the new wires and re-pull the WH-B212 wire.
