Jeff stopped by and pointed out that the Fuel Guardian, placed on the firewall side of the subpanel, should be placed on the cockpit side. I drilled out the rivets for the nutplates for this and one Adel clamp. I flattened the dimples, redimpled, and riveted the nutplates on the aft side. I pulled the panel out a few inches and riveted the two small angle brackets to the canopy braces. I also riveted the nutplates to each angle bracket. I drilled the second of the two brackets to the right rib at the panel end and drilled it for a triangle nutplate. These two brackets were primed and then the nutplates were riveted in place. The brackets were then riveted using AN426-4-4 rivets. I then positioned and drilled holes in the subpanel for the Avionics Relay.
