    Subject: Instrument Panel Advice re placement on Firewall options
    Gidday, I have my instrument panel such that it sits on small rubber mounts, the type that is a 1/2 wide rubber mount with a flat washer either side, which have centrally located threaded 1/4 shanks out each side. These ones are pretty hard though, hard to tell if they would do much. With these in place my panel will be suspended on them, and sit somewhat on a small soft rubber pad on top of my tunnel. I am wondering if I should be bothered, whether I should ditch this idea and mount the panel to the firewall directly like I believe the instructions dictate. Im keen on knowing what people think of attempts to isolate the high frequency vibration, whether it's worth the effort. I am going to have an electronic panel as best as I can, and my sub panels screw straight onto lugs on my panel carcass. Ive also been advised to cut the lip off the top of the panel which I have addressed by building an inverted, internal flange, so I can do this, but other than weight saving Im wondering if that is a common thing to do. It wouldnt hurt to put my panel forward an extra 1/2 but its not an imperative, and I do already have the mounts attached to the firewall, albeit with nylocs on the engine side, to be changed for conventional nuts before I go too far and forget. Any tips gratefully accepted. Regards Tony Renshaw
