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.
