Firewall forward / forward of instrument panel work continues:

A lot of miscellaneous items have been completed. Getting closer to riveting the forward top skin on.

The highlight was getting my prop governor back from MT and getting it and the prop control installed.

Cabin heat control and throttle detail:

Cabin heat knob on right side of cockpit:

Mixture control linkage finished:

Right side vent bracket with cabin heat and 12 volt power plug:

Mocking up the "snorkel" for induction air:

Routing for the alternate air door control on the snorkel:

Cabin heat plenum installed:

Checking fit of heat muff with snorkel and fuel flow transducer (aka red cube):

Pressure bleeding brakes from the bottom up worked great:

Very happy with the acrylic brake fluid reservoir from Blue Sky and the hoses from TS Flightlines:

I received the re-indexed governor from MT. Their tech also attached my modified governor control bracket and safety wired everything. Happy to have it installed.

Mixture and prop control cables:

Installed all remaining fuel lines. It took a long time to position the clamp on the intake tube so the fuel line would not touch any part of the engine.

Oil pressure transducer line (Now the fuel pressure, manifold pressure and oil pressure lines are attached)
