Reiff heater Install

 RV14 Build June 21

FWF Wiring Reiff

I wanted to install the full REIFF XP heater kit, but on the IO-390C sump there isn't a flat place to install a sump heater. I decided to keep the cylinder bands though. They are very easy to install. Just slide around the base of the cylinder and go together like a hose clamp.

After they are clamped I used safety wire to prevent the screw from backing off and loosening the clamps.

Close up view of the safety wire.

Securing the wires with zip ties per the REIFF plans.

Safety wire and potting the entry hole with RTV. The green wire is a case ground. I did have to trim the baffle on the #2 cylinder so it would sit flat and not dig into the heater band.
