Just getting to the wiring interconnect design for my RV-7 and looking at connectors and wire number identification systems.
Have been looking at the 3M numbered reel system and using transparent heatshrink over printed paper labels. Would really like to find colored heatshrink beads to slip over the wires to mark the wire numbers. I plan on using all aircraft quality wiring (mostly white) with high quality connectors. Avionics will be Dynon HDX dual screen, dual electrical systems with IFR capability as a strawhorse for the avionics and wiring
Been looking at a number of the top end autosport sealed connectors as well as 38999 style connectors. I want to keep the cost in the reasonable level if possible so prepared to go with top end automotive connectors. Most of the aerospace programs I worked on in a past life had connector/ wiring reliability issues so I want to avoid reliving the past as much as possible.
Would be interested in in any recommendations.
