Today , the instrument panel supports were redone.
The reason for the change was that with the supports in the previous position, there would be insufficient clearance below the GTN 650 to insall the VPX-Pro or any other piece of avionics gear. I therefore remade the supports to allow sufficient clearance.
Using standard techniques, two Zee channels were fabricated from 2024 angle, which was riveted together.
The Zee channels were then screwed to the subpanel using 6-32 hardware..
Next, the original support channels were modified to fit to the Zee channels.
Fit was verified and it now appears that there will be at least 2 1/2" between the supports and the bottom of the GTN rack.
