Brief Description:  Misc avionics

- Made the pushrod and handle for the fuel shutoff.

- Used the cardboard pattern I had for the center section of my instrument panel, to do the following:
1. Verify where the fuel shutoff would go (black knob below the EFIS)
2. Verify the GPS mount location (not shown) through trial and error. The mount has a single screw that goes through the panel, so I just kept punching holes in the cardboard in different locations and trying the mount until I liked its location.
3. Verify the clearances behind the Ztron breaker/buttons

- Fixed the LED cockpit light that was not working

- Used cardboard patterns again, to create a mockup of a mount for my G-meter. Photo 3 shows the G-meter in the aluminum bracket that came about from the paper patterns. My instrument panel is not big enough for the meter. If I hang it below the instrument panel then my knees and/or the passengers' knee will hit it. So I designed a mount that will let the meter reside behind the panel, and then I can use the sliding mount to pull it straight down when I want to use it.
