Hi:



I just got my brand new Altrak unit. the question is, on installation,

is any way to install this, without having to drill out the rivets from

the floor rib...?On the prints looks like one has to remove at least three rivets, on top and  3 at the bottom, on the floor?



If this is not done, the plate tha holds the unit, will not set flush

against the rib...I guess I want to get out of that job, it may not

be as hard as my mind is telling me.



Appreciate comments and suggestions, for those already with their

unit in operation..

I have a different TT model, but the install might be similar.  Wasn't that hard.  Took a second set of hands to drive some of the rivets, but not difficult.

Thanks Larry:  I saw your web page also,  very nice work, when you see this, one think

 if I could do it again...

  

 Any how I* finished, the basic installation today,  I decided to use bolts, and nuts..

 of course wire safetyed..   I learned long ago,  if you install something, if at all possible

 make it removable...I learned that thru another builder friend....I wish I had done

 that from the beginning, the amount of work I could have saved... tha tis why the

 second projects are really as pleasure, too late for me..

  

 NOw is the hard part, for me as I am the worst when it comes to electrical....

 one question larry, Am I correct that only two wires will be all I need,, talking,

 I will not have V.S, or coupled to the GPS..I dread to do the soldering on those 

 samall pins....Can I ground the servo and programer, right next to them, with wires

 to the rib?

  

 Any suggestions, Thanks

  

 Bert

I'm not sure.  I want to say I ran my ground in the old plane all the way forward to the main ground block, but I think I've seen another plane that used a local ground.  Both worked fine.  Not sure about the number of wires.  I can't download the wiring diagram for some reason.  Not sure if it's me or TT's site.  Anyway, I'd let the TT be your guide:

Hi:



I want to know if some one knows where I can have the harness made

for the altrak, alt. holder.. unit..



I have seeing some places on the list, but they want $100 dollars,and more,

that is too much for me...I feel that $50.00 would be a reasonable

figure...



If any one  has some ideas let me know.  Other wise I will do it,

even if I am terrible on electrical work...



thanks
