Brief Description:  Begin Fitting GTN 650 & Audio Panel to Aircraft

Removed the GTN 650 navigator from its mounting rack. Placed rack into the panel and held it in place with $40 clecos. Was surprised to find that it will not require cutting the sub-panel, as it sits about 2" short of the sub-panel. Instead, I will need to purchase and install 3" aluminum angle, riveting it to the sub-panel so that it extends on both sides of the rack in order to support the rear of the rack off of the sub-panel.

Removed the audio panel from its rack and tried to place that rack into the hole in the panel. Found that the left panel brace F-1045L will have to be cut/notched about 6.5 - 7" back from the panel towards the sub-panel in order to eliminate this interference. Will need to install angle to the panel brace to reinforce the area that will be removed in order to retain the structural support for the glare shield and the instrument panel. Will use either 0.75" or 1.0" angle for this reinforcement.

Will order the angle for both purposes this evening.
