Today's goal was to see how the panel fits in the cockpit with all the ribas and angles.
The picture show the back of the panel with the rib, the trays and one support angle. The angle had to be sanded slightly to fit in between.



The panel in the fuselage. The left rib has been displaced from it's intended position under the white block toward the center.
I also found out that the subpanel is 1/2' shorter than the panel itself. As my radio sit very low on the main panel, they will protrude somewhat from the bottom of the subpanel.



I cut some aluminium angle to make the support for the trays on the subpanel. There are two side supports and one lower support. I'll see how this gets installed once the panel has been cut.



After having installed the panel ribs, I noticed this crack on the right rib. I have some difficulties knowing when this happened perphaps during the multiple installations or may be during canopy work. Vans would probably say that it's OK to repair it but I will order a new one.



I also fabricated the support angles for the GPS bracket.
