Hi, I'm David Mack. In 2006, I decided to build my own Van's Aircraft RV-7 200+ mph two seat homebuilt aluminum airplane and this is a log of the experience.

Ignition Wire Securing (Firewall Forward)
2.5 Hours

I outlined the heat reflective material on the lower cowl with high temp RTV per something I read in Vic Syracuse's book. I had been a little concerned about this tape peeling away, so this should cure that.

Then I started working on securing ignition wires. I used a combination of adel clamps and stand-offs made from high temp zip ties and rubber tubing to secure the wires to each other and nearby structures. I also used some wire lacing when securing to the engine mount.

Verified that there was no conflict with the lower cowl by temporarily installing it.

Here is the lower left section.

And then the upper left wires.
