Brief Description:  Install Instrument Panel

1454 - 1700

Conitnue with instrument panel install.

I needed to find a place to mount the GAD29 on the left side of the panel due to wiring harness constraints. As previously described, finding an adequate location while keeping all connectors clear can prove to be problematic. The good news with the GAD29 is that the orientation isn't critical. I decided to fabricate an L shaped shelf to mount the unit on while providing additional mounting space for the rudder trim control board and O2 sensor amplifier. This location is within reach of the harness and free from interference with the GDU connectors.

I fabricated the L shelf from 032 aluminum sheet. Flanges were created along the edges to provide mounting opportunities as well as increasing the rigidity of the shelf.

Along the sub panel bottom flange, I match drilled the shelf for existing bolt holes.

Along the vertical flange, a mounting hole was drilled and a nut plate installed in the sub panel for a 6-32 screw. Standard techniques were used.

The vertical shelf surface was match drilled to the GAD29 for 6-32 hardware.

The web of the glareshield stiffener was match drilled for two 6-32 screws.

All edges were finished and holes deburred.

The shelf was installed with existing hardware along the sub panel flange. The vertical flange was secured with a 6-32 screw.

Finally, the GAD29 was installed using 6-32 hardware. The top two screws also secure the shelf and GAD29 to the glareshield stiffener.
