Even with a bottom access panel -- mine is 10" x 8", and metal clad on the inside for transponder antenna ground plane. Before installing the module, I placed a bunch of stud mounting pads on the fuse bottom. They're just small chunks of 1/4" wood, chamfered on the edges, to secure an AN-3 bolt sitting on its head. Bonded and further secured with 2 layers glass. An (unaerodynamic) alternative is just later drill holes in the fuse bottom, for a bolt to secure cable clamps. But they'll be problematic in affixing the hardware. With the bonded stud arrangement, a cable clamp and nut can be installed one-handed, reaching into the tunnel. I didn't plan too well where and how many of these studs should be located, but luckily close enough to be ahead of the game. Fabricating said access panel is easier before module install. Since the glass in this area was not foam sandwich, I first made it into foam sandwich. Don't like adding weight, but this enables countersink screws to be used to secure the access panel if you fiddle with adding flox around the screw holes to be able to cut countersinks. If you have a 914, consider planning it so that the fuel pumps and filters are located within easy access through this access panel. The circuitous factory arrangement stumped me as to its rationale.

My Europa is near to needing to be transported for weighing, a little paint touch up and Decals. A few weeks later it=B9s then up to Kemble for final inspection and the paper chase exercise! Maybe even first flight!....... Some may say about time. Is anyone in the position to rent me a Trailer for a XS TRIGEAR for short periods of time for above listed journeys which at maximum are 30 miles? Estimated dates would be around towards end of April.

They were doing something similar to Flite Crafters in the Phoenix area. I don't know how many Europas they have done, but I am sure they have a handle on who is doing what in that part of the country.
