Description

Wiring your engine panel is not that difficult. Sourcing the correct combination of cables, connectors, crimps, switches, breakers and other hardware is the tricky bit. You will need a range of specialty cable cutters, strippers, crimping and swaging tools. If you don’t already own this stuff, don’t already have a pile of the correct gauge aviation-grade cables lying around and would like to get flying sooner – then this upgrade is highly recommended.

The pricing is for the labour and purchase of additional aforementioned electrical components  that are not already supplied standard with your FWF. You receive a battery box, engine tray, and firewall penetrations in addition to what ships with your engine.  If you are installing this option into anything other than a Zenith aircraft then you may need to adapt the dimensions of the tray to fit for your particular application.

NOT INCLUDED:  Batteries 0r the Switch Panel (switches, breakers and associated wiring).  Many people are going with the VP-X Sport (which eliminates the breakers), some people prefer a push start to the key and switches are a personal preference on their design and location.  You only get the latest parts on the horizontal white surface – not the switch panel.

The picture is a sample only and has been improved upon over time with a different tray and battery box.
