Today I installed the new cover for the console and began work on the brake plumbing. I need to replace the line from the reservoir to the master as it interferes with the trim switch. Replacement parts now on order.

And then another 7 lbs of alternator H/W and about 4 lbs of Whelen strobe/lights/power supply. That sleek piece in the lower left is one of the 6 oz AEROLED Nav/Strobe units replacing the Whelens.

But I'm still piddling around with the wiring and cabling. Found out today that the GRT Sport SX will control a Garmin SL30 radio and the Microair 760 will support SL30 type input/output. So, I'm working on adding the necessary wiring between the two.
