Brief Description:  Parking brake cable & consoles

I had removed the parking brake brackets after final fitting the other session and painted the brackets in order to blend with the interior color. I found a spray can of paint color "puter gray" that closely matches and will be fine for all these little parts that need a bit of paint. After drying a couple days they were ready for permenant installation so I did a final install on the parking brake brackets and cable.

Next I decided to rivet the angle that I had made for the right console that was removed with the other parts for painting some time ago. I am glad some of these parts are going in for the last time!!

At the end of the session I spent time on an idea I have for using the predrilled rivet holes for Vans switch console that I will not be using to contemplate a fuse/circuit breaker panel that can go in this area. It seems to me that it is unused and available space and could be a conduit as well to have wire transit through and be hidden.....more thinking as I am trying to limit the clutter behind the instrument panel.

On Wednesday evening my buddies Rob and Ralph our EAA chapter techies will come and we will hash over the options on electrical stuff.....
