Good Day All,
I'm working on my wiring layout and I have a little question for those
before me. I have come across a couple of terminal boards that are designed
to
plug into perforated boards. The pins extend straight down from the terminal
board approx. 5/8" (15mm) from it's underside. Does anyone see any problem
with
me drilling two series of seven small holes in a line and then backfilling
with heat resistant sealer? I could then solder the connections on the
engine
side going to the oil temp and pressure, CHT's, EGT, ammeter, warning
light,
starter switch, etc. In order to remove the panel I would simply unscrew
from
the terminal boards.
This would save from having to cut a large hole for a round bulkhead
connector...not to mention the expense.

Hi All,
I wanted to cut and route my CHT and EGT thru some cannon plugs at the
firewall but I was told long ago that this would affect the accuracy of the
readings if leads were cut. I since had planned to run those things thru a
grommet with firestop material. Am I confused? Have others cut thiers with
success?
