Over the winter months, we intend to make a few mods to the panel of our now
Tri-gear
Europa. Some of these mods will involve moving instruments which will in
turn require some of the wiring to be extended.
My understanding is that Tefzel covered wire is the favoured cable to use. While
this can be bought from RS, it only seems to come in reels of 100 metres and
at about =A370+vat a reel, works out quite expensive if you need several sizes.
Does anyone know of a location in the UK where this can be bought by the metre
(our US friends can buy it by the foot for next to nothing).
If I need to extend wiring within the panel does anyone have an opinion on they
best method - at the moment, I can only really think of hook type solder joints
with heatshrink applied over the joint or, some form of either single pole
or multi-pole crimp connectors.
Finally, I think I'm in for a telling off by our airfield manager as our
aircraft
doesn't have a tow bar - How do other Tri gear owners get over this problem?
Thanks in anticipation
Peter
