1 hr. soldering the pitot heat wires and cleco'ing on the back plate and z-connectors to the left fuel tank.  I checked the flares for the pitot air connectors and they look fine.  I'm waiting for some surgical tubing and when I have that I will pressure test the lines.

Wires ready to be soldered with heat shrink tubing in place.

Wires wrapped together.

Use the right solder!  This is it!

Soldered.

Heat shrink tubing shrunk and the plastic sheathing  put over it.
