Before continuing with the instrument panel, I added two more duct flanges to the engine baffles.
\nThis one is for alternator cooling..
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and this one is for fuel pump vent.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also drilled the passthrough for the prop governor cable.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next step with the instrument panel was to drill the switch holes.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The cable at the top is the parking brake.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to place the alternate air cable and the cabin heat cable on each side of the throttle quadrant.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally I riveted the mapbox to the instrument panel.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I then went and primed & painted the instrument panel together with the instrument panel support rib I prepared earlier.
\nWith that done, I could rivet it to the subpanel.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am quite happy about the result. The rib really supports the panel well in this spot.
