Pass through Wire tip

I guess from working on airplanes in tight spaces it felt like a lot of space to me. I also used ratcheting crimpers so its easy to lock the splice and just shove the wire in, instead of trying to balance the splice, wire, and crimpers at the same time. I didnt see any one mention pulling this panel previously thats why i shared. I extended all my pass through wires while i was in there and bundled the wire up for later. So next time it will be much easier to use them.
Made me recall a time when I assisted a friend in his aviation career. He was a GA inspector/tech. Because of my small frame and decades in the automotive repair business I was often asked to hold a bucking bar. Hot summer days especially in the rear most section of the fuselage...fun times. He has since passed, thanks for bringing back the memories for better or worse.

Since the thread was hijacked i figured i would add to the aircraft pics. Here are the birds i worked on. I worked for a museum we did airshows around the country. I left there a yr and a half ago but still deal with warbirds.

I would not think so. Look at one of the photos in the other post - the one of the passenger side with the blue star. This highlights where the pass thru wires come out in the engine compartment. They were taped to the other wires in the area but you could see the colors and that they were them.
