Hi Guys,
�
After too long of a layoff,� I'm back working on the 10.
�
I'm getting ready to close up the rear seat/baggage panels and wanted to add doublers for 2 com antennas (CI-122)� Does anyone have pictures of what they did in this area?
�
I hope to order the finish kit this month. Now the challenge of the wiring and electrical is looming. So I may be asking a lot of questions.
�
Thanks,
�

George;
No pictures, I just made the doubler and don’t recall this being a big issue to do.
Many have removed numerous items from the finish kit. I believe Tim Olson has/ or was going to make a list of items to remove, regardless check the archives; this has come up before.
I can tell you off the top of my head:
Landing gear- skip the wheels and tires, get them from Matco and Desser directly.
For the heat vents (I have plane innovations steel- http://www.planeinnovations.com/) they are a great product compared to the ones Vans provides, plus they have more solid seal.
For the wheel pant extensions you’ll need the aftermarket alternative, same for the door guides or better yet the 180 degree kit. In fairness to builders who make these I wont give direct references, there are a few options and they all are good. I will tell you that once you find a site with the parts you’ll find numerous options, most of them are due to need for a better option than what is in the kits.
I just install a Cee Baileys windscreen- pretty much ready to install without major work- same price as Vans and a much better fit
I know Cee baileys is working on the door and rear windows but they are still perfecting that, it may be worth not getting the windows from Vans as I know the Cee baileys will be ready to fit as received- no need to trim it to the cabin and doors. They may have it completed by the time your ready, call them and ask- worth the wait based on what I have seen with the wingtip and windshield products.
I know there are some that have bought aftermarket wheel pants fairings, I can tell you the Vans ones are rather poor..
The list continues, whatever you do don’t just get the finish kit as is there are simply too many better options out there that work “safely” and are more durable.
As far as wiring, if you want a easier solution, consider the prewired and hub solution from http://www.approachfaststack.com/index.html
As well as Vertical power for electrical

George, I have some pics on this link.

It would be good to tie the doubler into at least 2 of
the ribs or other verticals around the area if possible,
but it's a pretty reinforced area so it won't be hard
to get something that works.
