With the power out for a few days, I haven't been spending much time on the plane. I finished up the wiring for the heated seats though. The seat bottoms and backs came wired with connections that I cut off, then spliced onto power plugs.
I mounted the female jacks on the edges of the center tunnel. I drilled clearance holes in the flanges of the side panels of the flap motor housing so I can still take the panels off without having to remove the jacks. Once the housing is in place and the seats are in, the jacks will be out of the way. Just the act of turning the jacks to tighten them down caused chipping of the paint. As much as I like the Stewart primer I've used, I really wish I had gone with a different paint for the interior. Their Ekocrylic just can't take much abuse. I think I'm going to have to cover the main interior panels with some paint protection film (the clear film used on car bumpers) to protect it from chipping.
