I am curious to find if anyone on the list has started with the Van's
wiring harness kit as the basic start of their wiring.
What kind of extras or modifications did you include if you used it?
Any help or comments would be welcomed.
Thanks
Jeff

Sorry I cannot answer all your question. However, I bought the Van's kit
although I had ever intention of wiring using Bob's schematic. It gave me
lots of parts I did not have to otherwise have to buy. I got to see Van's
wiring diagram which helped build my knowledge base. (Needed that at the
beginning.) But I still bought a lot of stuff cause some things were not
the same. The Van's wire harness while well done was mostly worthless using
the fuse bus rather than the CB bus. I valued the wire and disassemble most
of it to use it where I could. If I were doing it again, I would buy the
parts (connectors, wire, switches) from B&C or your local reputable
electrical supplier or Stein and do the whole wire job terminals and all
myself.
The extra and mods needed will depend a lot on the electrical components of
your plane's design. Larry in Indiana

I would agree with Larry on every point.

Van's will sell the plans page for the electrical harness kit. The
plans page is useful, as it give you a lot of ideas on places to
route wiring harness, and places to cut holes in various bulkheads.
It is definitely worth the $5 they charged for it, even if you will
do a Bob Nuckolls inspired system.
