Progress on this 70 degree, mid-January day in North Texas. I fabricated the panel center brace and did a trial fit. The panel is hinged to allow easy access to the firewall *wiring") side. The center brace was made from a length of 0.5" aluminum tube, flattened on one end to fit the angle of the panel and the fuselage mounting tab. The panel flange will be fitted with a #8 rivnut to attach the panel. I plan on running a wire thru the fuselage tab end attaching to the top of the panel to hold it in place while inspecting/working the wiring. Picture that later.
