the left side. Antenna cables go direct but have an extra foot of
'slack' to move the panel back for access. The pitot/static/AOA tubes
go through quick-connects .... from Home Depot. I did have to grind
down the panel where the hand-holds are to clear the rivet tails .... I
can't drop the panel down because it rests on a console.

installation with it off so have CherryMax rivets in the upper firewall.
I also put the Aircraft Spruce firewall blanket on the inside .... one
4' in front of the pedals and a 2' up top. After I took this pic.
