New Panel – alignment

Continuing with the prep work for the new panel as the downpours of recent weeks have waterlogged the runway so temporarily grounded

All the holes have been realigned and drilled and smoothed but .. the MGL instruments are fractionally larger than the standard hole.. so each needed teasing out.

The Trigs .. which haven’t been out of my original panel in 8 years were removed in turn to allow an accurate new hole alignment in the new panel.

Having drilled standard circular holes .. I realised my original were the flat top and bottomed version that Trig offer. This meant that I needed to use the original crescent cheek brackets that make up the full circle.

I had one pair but needed 2 .. Algy another local Kub pilot very kindly gave me his as he had mounted his without.

Just need to complete the black paint prep before the big switchover
