Bob,
I have spent an awful lot of time designing the electrical system for my RV-8A based on your Z-13/8 diagram. I’m satisfied I have the major points covered – but again a reminder that the devil is in the details. So a couple basic questions (I tried the archives but couldn’t find exact answers):
Toggle Switches: What is the best alternative to the tabbed washer on toggle switches? Will a lock washer or some other device eliminate the need for tab holes?
Wing Root Disconnect – handling strobe wire shielding. I understand your position on wing root disconnects, but for logistics purposes and ability to work on wing tips, I need ‘em. I have a source for the disconnect plugs used by the rec vehicle folks. However, I’m confused about how to handle the strobe wire shielding. Is it handled just like a normal wire?
Thanks,
Paul Valovich

Many folks have assembled without the tabbed washers. What's
the big downside? I put the washers on the back side and
cover the tab-holes with the switch panel overlay. Easy
to lay out, fabricate, assemble and the holes disappear
behind the overlays.

Shields are handled on their own pin like the other
wires.
