I did the same thing as user blaplante. Attached to an aluminum angle, which itself is adel clamped to the engine mount. As you can see, I also have my battery charger leads kind of wedged up in there for easy access with the oil door open. I protected the wires with lots of heat shrink and silicone fusion tape, but I have never really been 100% happy with doing it this way, electrical-safety-wise. Now that the plane is apart for condition inspection, I'll likely be re-thinking that one.

Got it in the tool box out at Aero Valley and all but four of the metric wrenches are in their new home. Printing a bunch more as I type this for the rest of the wrenches.

Meditations on a Grounded RV
I. Teardown What does it mean to savor the fast, fleeting, and final hours on the tach before the engine goes idle and the last puffs of burnt fuel begin to fizzle into a wide and far-reaching silence? What sense does one have of eternity when, with a single glimpse, there is captured high...

Hall Current Sensor Alternative
I have a Key100 on the bus feed and it works every bit as well as the shunt off the alternator output. It is awkward to wire, and awkward to mount, so I was looking at other things for the new build. This device comes ready with a plastic shell and mount, but I haven't worked out the physical...

I have the Cole-Hersee piper style external power socket and was planning to install it for an external battery power source in line with the excellent Nuckoll's instructions. But looking at the big heavy socket, I can't bring myself to cut a hole anywhere! I've read some folks here who have...

Found this at https://makerworld.com/en/models/44779#profileId-46422 and printed off (8) blocks simultaneously. I’ll get a pic in the toolbox when it’s above freezing. Printed using ABS with a .4mm nozzle. You snap together as many as you need. v/r,dr
