I did it under A&P supervision in about five hours, and it was well worth
it. Bogert makes a good kit and it comes with everything you'll need
including instructions for your A&P. Take all the seats out and work your
way from back to front removing the panels. I found it saved time to take
out the hatshelf instead of fiddling the cables in the dark. You'll need
some help feeding the cables through the firewall, and the airframe
grounding cable was a stinker to attach (I am not a small guy).

Good luck, save a few $$$ and do most of the gruntwork yourself. It is not a
difficult task. The copper cables make a huge difference to starting power.

I did the Google search for previous discussions,
found the Bogert Kit http://maxpages.com/bogertaviation/Copper_Cable_Kit,
but didn't find an estimate of the number of hours needed to install
the kit. The answer will bias the decision wrt DIY under supervision or
just have it done. My A&P lacks experience in this area,
eliciting a fit of head scratching, beard pulling and pessimistic
noises.....

I'll call Bogert, get their estimate and post back. I bet this will
be the *minimum* theoretical time

Thanks for your support,
