Most of my new panel is cut out but I still need to prime and paint it.
So, in the mean time, I installed the bad panel to get started on the
wiring. After working in the garage for a while, I came back inside and screwed on the end ribs to the wings. I used white screws instead of rivets. See pics below... |

Here is the panel installed. I have installed some of the little instruments I had handy. Soon I will screw on the EFIS, radio, and transponder to get those wired. |

Since I will have a MAIN
bus and an AVIONICS bus, I installed the other fuse block.
(wiring diagram here) These fuse blocks were placed where they are on the firewall because they are very easy to reach while standing outside the plane. I can reach right in without trying to get up under the panel. And although it may not look like it, the rudder pedals are well clear of the blocks. |

I even started running some of the wire. |

All the pink tie straps are temporary. I just needed something to hold the wiring harness together as it is 'born' ! |

I have mentioned before
that I don't want to rivet this end rib in place because eventually, I
will need to get inside the wing.
So I ordered a box of 100 white 8 X 1/2 screws and screwed it on. The white screws look great! |
