I finally finished thinking about the switch layout and did the drilling of the lower cross bar. |
|
Also knocked up a couple of backing plates to fix the alignment keys for the switches - this keeps the switches moving up / down (and not off to a strange angle) |
|
This is the current state - seems to work and keep everything in a logical order whilst maintaining spacing. |
|
Looking around for some bits to do, re-checked and trimmed the FAB glass part. |
|
I then went back to hitting my head against the wall known as the exhaust supports. This is a different 'non-intuitive' option - outboard facing ears, this helps provide better clearance in the forward wide of the lower engine mounts. I wish there were some decent instructions for the cross-over exhausts w/ nose gear mounts.... |
|
This is a close up - not sure. |
|
This is a third option, slightly further forward on the exhaust - the problem is then multiple bends / tweaks are going to be needed - no simple solution. |
|
Dad continued with the firewall penetrations. The two lower transitions will be for the A & B alternator B leads - in and back from the circuit breakers. |
