Instrument panel access
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2024 7:35 pm
Greetings!
Just a note about how I'll be getting access to the instrument panel wiring. I have added two inspection plates to the glare shield.
For strength, they require a frame and covers. For simplicity, I purchased two RV-10 baggage compartment access plates from Van's Aircraft. I did squeeze the rivets to attach the frames and used Torx screws to attach the plates (instead of the counter sunk screws that come with it). I believe this looks better.
The glare shield will be painted flat dark grey.
How do they look?
