Prepared the instrument panel for painting by cleaning it with Stewart EkoEtch E675.
Marked the lower switch panel to drill for switch locking rings. From alliedelec.com, Carling 728-15946.
Remade the fwd rudder cable brackets C02-10. I increased the leg that bolts to the side fuselage vertical from 1" to 1.5". This was to keep the cable from rubbing on the vertical members. The cable now clears the verticals by about 1/8". The aft cable run also has better clearance of the verticals to the aft cockpit pulley.
Dismantled the mocked up engine to begin drilling the firewall.
