Engine accessories, antennas

I've gotten into a mode of back and forth with various tasks.  Since hanging the engine I've attached a number of accessories like prop governor, alternator and associated adel clamps for wiring to starter, alternator.   Also various hoses for oil and fuel, and the fuel flow transducer.

Also bit the bullet and drilled holes in the top of the airplane for the Garmin GA-35 antenna that will connect to the GTN-650 IFR navigator.  I first made a doubler / backplate with nutplates to anchor the screws that go through the antenna, then used the same measurements to drill the holes in top of airplane, on the right side, aft of baggage bulkhead.   No big deal really.   I had to wait until this week to get the right connectors for both ends of the cables for GA-35: it's a different type of connector than other antennas.

Also installed the two com antennas on the belly, and cleaned up wiring in the tunnel in preparation for installing my main panel and harness.
