Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:11 pm Post subject: "forest of tabs" location on firewall

I'm trying to do much of the wiring on my -10 now, so I need to put the common ground somewhere.  Does anyone have know of a good place to put the B&C "forest of tabs" on the firewall (both sides of the firewall, as described in Bob's book)?  I'll be doing the FWF by the plans (except for the grounds, I suppose).

   

 Thanks...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">   I put mine up next to the brake reservoir. I didn't need any tabs on the firewall side, dedicated grounds ran into the cabin using bulkhead AMP connectors. The engine is also grounded to the same tab plate through the 3/8 mounting bolt.

This has worked well for me so far... at least no regrets so far.  You can locate this by reference to the brake fluid resevoir.  Access to the cockpit side is primarily thru one of the holes the plans suggest you make in the instrument panel bulkhead.  I'm wiring it up now.

Rob,  

   

I put mine of the inside of the firewall on the far left and ran a #2 ground from the rear battery. On the engine side I ran a braided cable from the mounting bolt to the engine. There was really nothing to ground on the engine side of the firewall. As it ended up most of the grounds came from the avionics and I put 3 10-tab ground ‘buses’ (got from Stein) next to/on the avionics stack.

There are a number of potential items on the engine side of the firewall are pressure senders, pressure switches, hall effect current sensor, tach generator for RPM pickup, etc.  Depending on your installation you might have all, none or any combination.  Also, some sensors will ground through the case and others have a ground wire.  I think I’ve got 4 items grounded on the engine side of the firewall.

Thanks, guys for the advice; very helpful.  I think I'll go with the same spot Bill shows in his picture.  I stumbled across a pic of Van's prototype that seems to show it's a good location, too:
