I just ordered a set of SkyBolt fasteners for my cowling. But now I'm concerned that my use of the Van's firewall holes will no longer work. Do I need to move these electrical pass-throughs if I use the cam-locs from SkyBolt?
Here's the best picture I have of that area. It does not show the hole but close. I decided to move my wire pass through inboard for just the reason you mention. I could not see a way to use that hole and not interfere with the camlocs. I ended up putting a small square of stainless and a couple of stainless pop rivets in place over the hole using firewall sealant to close off that pre-punched hole.
Thanks, Andy. I appreciate you taking the time to dig up the photo for me. It confirms my suspicions: those fasteners really take up a lot of room. I can now start planning to relocate these access holes…probably with similar fire sleeve.
Cheers.
