The tunnel cover came with the kit ..... ;-)
I made the 'console' (between the tunnel cover and instrument panel) out
of fiberglass. You can buy them from the usual suspects like Aerosport,
I think.
I was going to mount various things on the console ..... but only the
engine controls are mounted to it so far. My instrument panel and that
console were constructed to be removable if necessary .... like
*/CONDITION/* inspections of the fwd tunnel.
