Brief Description:  Panel - Rework Map Box modification and busses

Note, the day is really the 30th. Stupid software won't sort multiple entries for a given day properly!

The day didn't start out too well. After removing the panel to mount various busses on the sub-panel, I realized the upper right side of the Map Box may interfere with the canopy structure when it closes. Hung the canopy on it's hinges to confirm, and sure enough, in order to fully close the canopy, the frame would need to drop about 1/2 inch into the upper right hand corner of the Map Box. Shoot! Okay, time for some re-work. After studying the problem a while, I decided to fabricate a trough in the Map Box in the area of interference to allow the canopy to close. A picture is worth a thousand words here...
