Brief Description:  Install Instrument Panel

1530 - 1748

Today's project was to locate and mount the aux fuse block. This fuse block became necessary as the VPX Pro did not have sufficient outputs for all of the avionics and accessories. This isn't really an issue as the aux fuse block will support only non essential, low current devices such as the panel and flood dimmers, overhead lighting, O2 sensor amplifier, and electric rudder trim actuator.

The location was somewhat problematic as I wanted to have access to the fuses without using any tools. The final location is above the pilot's left knee, using a through mounted fuse block. This fuse block features an indicator LED that will illuminate for a blown fuse, simplifying location of the faulty fuse. Replacement will be from the left seat fotwell area.

Locating the fuse block here required modification of the previously fabricated L shelf.

The L shelf was removed.

A new shelf was fabricated from 032 sheet using edge bends for stiffness and 6-32 nut plate for ease of mounting. Standard techniques were used.

Once the new shelf was complete, the L shelf was marked and cut to fit. It was then reinstalled along with the GAD29.

The new shelf was then clecoed in place to verify fit. The fuse block will arrive tomorrow, and subsequently mounted on the shelf.
