I finally got some time to get back to the hangar (having a newborn switches some priorities around). I spent a few hours working on FWF items including painting the interior of the cowl with some white paint.

I first coated the interior with some thinned epoxy with some white dye to fill all the pin holes. I did two coats.

I then painted the entire interior with a few coats of High Temp Ceramic glossy paint. This should help with identifying oil drips/spray and make it easy(ish) to clean up.

I also added adel clamps to support wiring all through out the engine bay.

Here is the main harness with all the sensors. Its supported in 5 different spots as wires branch off to their respective sensors.

This is the primary power harness which includes the main power wire between the PPS and the VPX.

Here is the additional supports holding the fuel flow sensor harness and the EGT and CHT sensor wires.

Another close up. I used all metal lock-nuts throughout the engine bay.
