More aeroplane stuff today! I started with the alternator, and getting it mounted properly and secured. All I needed to do was double check everything, torque the bolts to spec and safety wire them.

Here are the two bracket bolts safetied and tabwashered. Talk about belt and braces!

Here’s the adjustment arm safetied top and bottom.

I’m still trying to figure out what to do about his oil line. Maybe I should go ahead and make a hard one that runs where I want it. Can I use aluminium, or does it have to be steel? A question for Mahlon at Mattituck.

The rest of the day was spent doing electrical stuff. I took a break from all this and went shopoing to the electronics store and the hobby shop. For plane parts of course!
