| Subject: | Re: Instrument Panel Advice re placement on Firewall options |
Mine is hard mounted and 500+ hours, no issues. However, I do not have sub-panels
which necessitates the complete removal of the panel whenever l need to work
on it. This is not recommended at all unless you are Olga Corbet sized and
equally gifted at cockpit gymnastics.
Modification to add 2 x sub-panels is on my bucket list.

Tony - I think it probably is common, although perhaps not much reported. Here
is a link to a picture of my instrument module (F14) with a flange similar to
what you describe:

Although I have now discarded the mechanical gyros I originally intended to fit:

I am retaining the anti-vibration bushes on which the main aluminium panel is mounted.
I feel that the mechanical movements of the ASI, altimeter & VSI would
probably live a bit longer with some vibration damping. Here is a link to a picture
of the unpopulated aluminium panels:

Hi Group
Has anyone Twist Welded Cables? Comments welcomed. I'm thinking could be useful
for 914 Throttle, Choke and Wastegate Cables. Here's a link if you are EAA Member:

If not: put cable in vise gently, chuck end of cable with a drill that has very
slow speed, slowly heat with Propane torch till cherry red then pull and run
drill on very slow till cable breaks. You damaged the plating so take end and
dip in self etch primer or similar. Ron Parigoris

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

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.
