After a bit of fighting, I got all the cylinder head temperature probes installed yesterday.  The threads on the #3 cylinder needed a bit of brushing before the probe would start.  The first two threads of the #2 cylinder, on the other hand, were so mangled that some careful work with a tap before the CHT probe would thread.  With some help from Jeff, the exhaust gas temperature probes went in this afternoon.  It took a bit longer to get all the wires secured than it did to get the EGT probes installed.  With that, the only things remaining for the EDM install are securing some excess wire behind the firewall and installing the fuel flow meter.

Last night I sprayed the gray on the cover plate behind the EDM and the reducing plate for the clock.  The gray is close, but not quite a perfect match.  I’m not going to worry about the mismatch this year, but next year I’ll spray the panel a matching gray.  I don’t want to spray in the plane with instruments installed and the pitot/static check isn’t due until next year.  If I open the static system to remove the airspeed, altimeter, or vertical speed indicators, I’d have to do the pitot/static check this year, which is expensive.  I didn’t paint the panel the autopilot is mounted in because I’m going to rebuild that to be a bit more secure.

The hardware for the flaps and ailerons is all painted and mounted again, so it’s time to start focusing on the recover.
