The antenna spacing thread got me thinking about wiring again.  I know people are concerned (rightfully so) about running wires in the tunnel in an effort to avoid any potential conflict with the controls.  I was wondering though, if you tied the wiring to the heater hose it would keep it all safe and secure, well away from the controls.  Any snags with this train of though?  

   

Thanks,

If you ever have to trouble shoot fuel leaks or clean your fuel filter, it might be a mess to remove the heater hoses for access.  I tied mine to the fuel vent line.  I wish that I have a better solution for it.

If you had a good way to hold them in place, out of the way of the controls, there shouldn’t be any reason that wouldn’t work.  The main problem is that you have the pushrods and the rudder cables in there.  The rods move up and down and the rudder cables may have some slack in them from time to time, especially when the plane is not flying, and you don’t want that to rub your cables.  We are trying to avoid the tunnel as much as possible.

The only required wires in the tunnel are floscan,  boost pump and flaps; the rest of the wiring should probably go down the sides  where sufficient lightening holes already exist. Also, fastening the wiring to  the aft heater hose may not be a good idea given that the hose will get hot and  eventually make the wiring insulation brittle. I would not want potential  shorts in areas that have flammable liquids in the lines.
