NOTE: WH-B179 (WHT) Cockpit Light Power Wire and WH-B180 (WHT) Cockpit Light Ground Wire may already be installed and routed up to the area near the ELT and fuel tank.
Step 1: Drill #12 a hole in the bottom of the Roll Bar Assembly at the location shown in Figure 2. Step 2: Insert a snap bushing in the hole just made in the bottom of the Roll Bar Assembly as shown in Figure 2. The flange of the bushing will need to be trimmed away to allow the bushing to fit between the F-1231A-AR & FR Roll Bar Frames and fully snap in place. Step 3: Remove the two lower right rivets that hold the F-1231A-FR Roll Bar Frame and F-1231E Roll Bar Splice Plate together using a #30 bit. See Figure 1. Step 4: Machine countersink the three holes in the F-12124 Light Bracket for attaching the LC ECL-02 Red Eyeball Cockpit Light. Step 5: Cleco the F-12124 Light Bracket to the holes from the rivets just removed in Step 3. Step 6: Match-Drill # 30 the right two holes in the F-12124 Light Bracket into the web of the F-1231A-FR Roll Bar Frame. Step 7: Prep and Paint the F-12124 Light Bracket. Rivet the light bracket to the web of the F-1231A-FR Roll Bar Frame as shown in Figure 1. Step 8: Crimp on butt splices as shown in Figure 2 to each of the two wires coming out of the LC ECL-02 Red Eyeball Cockpit Light. Step 9: Make a WH-B179 (WHT) Cockpit Light Power Wire and WH-B180 (WHT) Cockpit Light Ground Wire by cutting two pieces of 22 gauge wire each 153 inches long. Step 10: Crimp the WH-B179 (WHT) Cockpit Light Power Wire into the butt splice on the red wire coming from the LC ECL-02 Red Eyeball Cockpit Light. Crimp the WH-B180 (WHT) Cockpit Ground Wire into the butt splice on the black wire coming from the red eyeball cockpit light. Step 11: Rivet the LC ECL-02 Red Eyeball Cockpit Light to the F-12124 Light Bracket per the hardware in Figure 1. Step 12: Attach the splices attached to the LC ECL-02 Red Eyeball Cockpit Light to the rollbar structure and light with a dab of fuel tank sealant or hot glue etc. Step 13: Remove the F-1240 Upper Forward Fuselage Skin. See Page 29-07. Step 14: Enlarge the guide hole in the F-1205B Roll Bar Attach Plate to 3/8 using a step drill. The hole will need to be enlarged from the bottom side. See Figure 3. Step 15: Insert a snap bushing into the hole just made in the F-1205B Roll Bar Attach Plate. See Figure 3. Step 16: Make the F-12126 Wire Tube by cutting a 30 inch long piece of PT-035X1/4 plastic tube. Step 17: Curve the ends of the WH-B179 (WHT) Cockpit Light Power Wire and WH-B180 (WHT) Cockpit Ground Wire, then insert the ends through the snap bushing in the bottom of the Roll Bar Assembly. Push the wires down through the Roll Bar Assembly, route them through the large hole at the base of the roll bar on the aft side. Slide the F-12126 Wire Tube over the wires and back into the Roll Bar Assembly as shown in Figure 3. Slide the wires through the snap bushing in the F-1205B Roll Bar Attach Plate. Follow the routing of the WH-Q54 (ORN/BRN) Fuel Level Wire described on Page 31-05 back up through the F-1202B Panel Base. Step 18: Crimp the WH-B179 (WHT) Cockpit Light Power Wire into the open end of the butt splice with the WH-L80 (YEL/PRP) and WH-F177 (RED) wires crimped in the other end. See Page 31-07. Step 19: Crimp the WH-B180 (WHT) Cockpit Light Ground Wire into the open end of the butt splice with the WH-L82 (YEL/GRN) and WH-F178 (BLK) wires crimped in the other end. See Page 31-07. Step 20: Reinstall the F-1240 Upper Forward Fuselage Skin.
NOTE: The IF DYNON DEK 180-12 Dynon EFIS/EMS must be powered on for the LC ECL-02 Red Eyeball Cockpit Light to be operational.
