Buckaroo Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 My Rans buddy who has built and taught the build of six Rans aircraft stopped by while I was repairing my leaky valve cover. He advised me to zip tie about four areas of my upper engine wires and other "floppy" parts to secure them against under cowl turbulence therefore preventing wear to those parts. We closely examined bundled wires and any connectors and parts that could flop around and wear against other parts by turbulence under the hood. My loose stuff is now secure and properly positioned. We especially looked for hoses that are rubbing against hard parts to pull and tie away. What do the experts think of doing a search and secure zip tie procedure?

DHeal Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Also consider insulating wires and hoses from heat sources such as exhaust pipes and mufflers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
