Cleanup, interior mockup, FAB mounting plate

Had the day off work so swung over to avery tools in Fort Worth to pick up some bulkhead penetrations for the engine firewall. Didn't get around to installing them because the black box for the engine monitor doesn't have a home yet and I want to optimize the installation to make the wiring easy.

Finally cleaned up (vacuumed and "dusted") the plane. It was looking pretty rough; haven't been doing a good job with housekeeping and FME. So got that wrapped up and re-taped the open ends of hoses and such for components that are not completely installed. This actually took a fair amount of time.

I can scratch the FAB mounting plate of the list (hopefully!). The as-purchased design from vans has the cutout for the throttle body servo in the middle of the plate that mounts the FAB to the throttle body. This would be great, except the mixture arm would bump into the cowl because the throttle body does not sit in the middle of the engine - it's offset. So anyway, to combat this, I shifted the FAB plate over 1 inch. Worked great for clearance, but the bolts that secure the plate to the servo ran into the filter. Bah. I compromised and shifted it 0.75 inches over and that gives enough clearance to both the mixture arm and filter, success! 

It looks loose here, that's because I didn't tighten all the bolts (the nutplates shouldn't be repeated exercised because they're a friction fit).
