Instrument Panel & Seat Instl
 |
|
It took some time to get the scale correct on the printer.
But I finally got it.
|

Originally I was planning on making my own mount for the 2000C. But
I really didn't find a good way to do this. I want to be able to
take it out easily and replace batteries if needed. I finally ended
up buying the mount from Air Gismo.

Drilled and installed the switches in the center console.
|
 |
|
Before I get too far on the panel I need to finish up the routing of the
wires aft of the spar. I also decided to change the attach
point for the seat belts. My tech advisor suggested that I pick up
the gear plate. So I decided to drill out a rivet and add the bolt.

Here with the belt attached. I never liked the way it was before.
This is more secure and simpler.
|
 |
|
I decided to use terminal blocks to connect the wires from the wing.
Here is where the Aileron trim will hook up.
|
 |
|
A
little out of focus, but it shows how I routed all of the wires. I
really like the spiral wrap. |
 |
|
Here I mounted the strobe box. and the connections for the rest of
the lighting.
|
 |
|
It took quite a bit of effort to get it all neatly in place.
|
 |
|
But it is now going where I want it and is away from the rudder cables.
|
 |
|
With the access panels removed from the seats it will be easy to hook and
unhook the wing wires.
|
 |
|
I will go a head and install the seats.
|
 |
|
I cut the holes for the wires from the wings. It is kind of a big
hole but needed to be able to pass the connector through.

Center bolts

 |
|
Had to give it a try. Feels good.
|
 |
|
Having it laid out on paper made it easy to cut the holes.
|

Center position for the GPS
|
 |
|
Looks good with some of it installed
|
 |
|
On to the power system. I made a ground plane out of a piece of
brass and some connectors.
|
 |
|
Trying to lay it out to see where it all will go with the routing.
|
 |
|
Mounted the battery.
|
 |
|
Mounted the contactors, relays, Capacitor, shunt, regulator and the ground
plane.
|
 |
|
A view from the aft side of the fire wall. Note the ground plane on
this side. It is connected with a brass bolt.
|
 |
|
Installed the radio and Transponder as well as the EIS. Santa
brought the radio.

A closer view

 |
|
From the side. I added the top piece with the holes. I
will use this to support hinges for hatches.

|
Another view.
