One of the last things to cut in the instrument panel are the holes for the warning lights and ELT. I have been debating back and forth as to the best location for them. Hopefully, the plan I came up with will work well. (I also worry about goofing up the panel. It is looking sooooo nice.)
I ended up putting the ELT in the middle. On the left will be the fuel warning and indicator lights. (Left tank fuel low, switch to test indicators, right fuel tank low, and fuel pump on.) On the right side will be ALT warning, low oil warning, Dynon warning, and a light indicating the auto pilot is on.
I ended up just going for it and making the cuts. The most worrisome was the ELT hole because it is square. I snuck up on the fit.
Everything turned out fine. (I did one last test of everything and am extremely happy with the panel.)
