Joshua's RV-9A Project

Worked more on the firewall tonight:

• finished up and mounted the doubler for the contactors
• installed the nutplates for the battery box and fabricated the battery hold-down bar and spacers
• drilled pilot holes for the lightening holes in the box (need to bring my hole saws home tomorrow to finish the  box)
• installed the nutplate for the breather hose
• made up the copper bar that runs between the contactors and ground down the mounting ear on the master contactor so it will nest with the starter contactor
• played around with possible locations for the wiring pass-thrus

Was going to install the two nutplates for the oil pressure hose as well, but can’t decide where they’re intended to be installed — I have seen pictures with them at the top corners of the recess, but turns out that hole location is a bear, since it has no flat spots for the “ears” of the nutplate.  So, more research.
