I used .080" (2mm) seemed about right . After I cut all the holes there
is not much left and the panels have to support a lot of weight after
they are populated.

I used 2mm too. Keep in mind that my panel is much larger than the
standard Europa panel; if it works for me it should work for you too. It
is true that after the holes are cut the panel appears weakened, but
populating the panel stiffens it up considerably. Actually it is more
rigid than before, as the instruments have less tendency to bend and
flex than the aluminium sheet itself.
I used one horizontal T-shaped stiffener reduxed in halfway down the
panel. The panel is strong enough to support all instruments, but I made
an additional support at the rear of my electrical gyro because of its
length and thus leverage.
I operate the Europa mainly from a bumpy soft field, transport the
Europa for every flight over the road on its trailer, so it sees a lot
of vibration and bumps. So far, after nearly 100 hours, the panel is
holding up very well with no signs of fatigue.

Hi! Gert.
I used some blue thermal building block insulation, it's slightly more dense
but quite adequate for a small construction or filler. There's probably more
than you want in a builders waste bin of off cuts.
It's called "Kingspan" here.
It's better than being stuck for a supplier.

Fred,
If you want something with a real "cool factor" you can use carbon fiber
sheet. Take a look at http://www.dragonplate.com/default.asp

Hi John,
I put an Airmaster prop on my a/c, so I still have the Europa supplied spinner,
and you're welcome to it. If it is of interest, drop me a note off list.
Cheers, Paddy

Thanks to all who've responded to my question...wow!...the world of
carbon fiber is something to behold...a tad spendy...easy to see why
our airframes are FG instead of CF...looks like .080" alum. would
serve me well...
