Started the day by carrying on with the vent / switch bar support for the RHS.
As always the second one was significantly quicker as I knew what I was aiming at.
The plates completed, and switch bar held in place. It will have fixtures between the panel and the face plates on left and right.
Next was the trimming of the switch bar for the plastic vents.
A one shot job as I didn't have any other material of similar shape.
This was the mixture of guesses - I ended up doing a mini-drawing for it to get it right in the end.
It was fairly close to the black line as the thickness of the vent otherwise interfered.
The finished result - all looks good and is solid. Only problem could be getting it in / out. I think it may be a permanent fixture and will have to be riveted in place - I'll investigate further options tomorrow.
I also re-looked at the quadrant mounting - I think we now have a plan, some workings to complete tonight and tomorrow I'll try modifying the parts. If it all goes belly up I'll re-order the parts later in the week with other stuff.
To finish I remade the custom covers for the forward deck. There were too many nutplates / screws in the old one - halved the number. Lots of drilling, deburring etc.
