Brief Description:  Start Key/Switch Install

Installed Key Switch in right side instrument panel

• Marked location per plans on where to drill the initial hole for the key switch.
• Initially used #40 drill bit to locate hole for key switch.
• Used the 1/2" unibit to increase the diameter.
• Used my larger unibit to get to the final initial size - that is the largest size you can drill and leave material in the panel for the tab required to lock the switch into place.
• Used the key switch cover to mark the remaining panel to remove with a file.
• Using a file, gradually removed material from the panel - test fitting the key switch numerous times until I got to the point where the key switch fit as desired.
• Deburred the key switch hole with scotch brite pad.
• Installed the key switch.
