14 NOV 15: Installed parking brake mount, paint: 4.75 hours
I initially decided not to install the Matco parking
break because I had heard about problems with the module leaking. I heard they changed the module, so I decided
to bite the bullet and install it. Even
though there have been very few times over the past several hundred hours in my
7A that I had the need for a parking brake, when you need one and don’t have
one, well… Mount installed to the
firewall:
Interior covers painted with the medium-stone
urethane to match the interior color.
This is about it for priming/painting of airframe parts:

from someone who has NO experience doing any electrical wiring outside of some
shoddy crimp/soldering work around the garage, it was a huge sense of accomplishment
splicing these light wires and soldering the switch connections for the baggage
lights. Aft end:
Finished product installed:Finished the evening by installing the F-1081 left baggage cover:
