Propeller, exhaust system, odds & ends

Since the last post, working on various firewall forward items and miscellaneous stuff.  The biggest news is that this past weekend, my friend Bob Bohn who is an A&P/IA helped install the propeller and exhaust system.  Since then, I've installed the EGT probes, rest of exhaust system (heat muffs, scat tubes etc), and also finished the nose gear leg fairing. 

Some of the items done since last post:


Nose gear leg fairing:

Finishing up snorkel (alt air door now in progress):



Lines to remote oil filter, filter installed:



 Firewall forward wiring:




Propeller is on the airplane (and another huge box is out of the house):


Exhaust:

Flywheel, prop bolts, alternator belt:

 Scat tubes:


Heat muffs:



I installed a direct ground from engine (via the engine grounding strap attached to engine mount) directly to the battery ground on firewall.  This will reduce risk of starter current taking a ground path through cables or other paths that might create excess heat.
