If the problem with the tunnel seat belt anchor is that it is pulling out, would bolts work better than rivets to attach the anchor to the tunnel? My current plan is to use a steel anchor, possibly bolted to the tunnel with a doubler (larger than the zenith mod), and with the doubler being larger, it is riveted to the tunnel in addition to being bolted to the anchor. This would spread loads over a greater area on the tunnel and I am thinking the bolts would be less likely to pull out. What say ye, list?
The other day I bought a cheap lawn tractor battery and hooked it up to my electrical system. I flipped the battery master expecting smoke, and heard my turn coordinator spool up. I flipped the strobe light switch, and that worked. I turned on the ICOM A200 expecting smoke for sure, and tuned in Milwaukee approach control. I heard transmissions coming in loud and clear. Even though the 701 will be vfr day only, I hooked up the lights to the gauges and put them on a dimmer, and that worked. I was quite please, as you builders know, it is not that common for that many things to go right in a row.
By the way, if any of you are going to install the ICOM A200 (which in my opinion is about the best deal in a panel mounted radio out there), if you want to use the internal intercom and the push to talk features, you need to request a more detailed wiring diagram from ICOM technical support. The instructions that come with the radio are not detailed enough on how to wire these features. The additional instructions also tell you where to get the right PTT switch.

George, when your plane first lights up for the first time to me it was like bringing Frankenstein ALIVE. After that the beast had a personality and was a living force. Only increased when the engine coughs to life and the purring power of combustion and movement engenders living and supernatural energy. When she flies and lifts you up and around the ground you feel like you now have a partner in defying the natural powers of gravity. Sounds all boogie woogie voodoo right ? Course maybe not; Best to you and congratulations on this big step.
