I picked up some spiral wrap from Aircraft Spruce and put it to use today. It’s good for protecting wiring runs from chafing, and for stiffening and organizing wires. I used some at the point where the elevator and tail light wiring transitions from the forward bulkhead to the j-channel. I also added a small length at the point where the wires pass through the bulkhead, and secured it all with zip ties.
Aft of the bulkhead, zip ties are keeping plenty of clearance between wires and sharp edges. At the aft end of the j-channel where the wiring run transitions through a bushing in one of the aft bulkheads, I added some more spiral wrap to the elevator trim wires. The elevator trim wires pass through this bulkhead then route up and through the the aft deck via a molex connector. There is a lot of slack, so I created a service loop and secured it with zip ties on the bulkhead. The concern here is to make sure these wires could never interfere with the elevator pushrod that passes through this area.
