I did some research today on the wig-wag flasher, and found the answer where all electrical answers are found...Nuckoll's AeroElectric Connection. There's a great pdf with four or five different ways to wire it. I am using the S700-2-10 B&C DPDT switch, and drawing 3.0 was the answer. I ran to Radio Shack after work to buy the diode rectifier needed for this, and got to work on wiring this tonight.
First I made a mounting plate for the flasher...Nuckoll's says to glue this to the plate, but if the flasher fails, the flasher and plate will have to come off, and a new one would have to be made. I decided to use tie wraps to secure it to the plate, and washers to space the plate off the sub-panel to keep the tie wraps from rubbing. This way, if the flasher fails, I just clip the tie wraps, and put a new flasher in with new tie wraps.
Skip to a little over an hour later, and we have all the wires done, with the exception of the two wires that get connected with the wires coming from the recog lights after the wings are installed. Those will go to the other two tabs on the flasher unit...doesn't matter which one goes where.
Here's the back of the switch with the LED light installed above it (middle switch in this pic). The only tab not used on the switch in this case is tab 3 (top left).
The two switch panel holes on the left will be filled with a couple of covers of some sort.
Next I dug the baggage lights out from the pile in the storage room and wiped the dust off. I soldered the ground side of the wires tonight before calling it a night.
Tomorrow I'll do the power side, and get that panel installed and run the wires to the switch and battery buss. These lights will be available with the master off.
