I really appreciate the replies, but I was wondering about the fourth cable to
the alternate air. If we use a cable pass through instead of the specified grommets,
is there a good place for the fourth one?
Also, IF we use Actuators (instead of cables) for the heat, could a pass through
for electrical wires work in the recess? We are actually thinking of a single
actuator for the rear seat heat control.

John, as Carl and Phil mentioned, I too used the original holes. I made
custom SS fittings for my firewall/cables and wished I had spread the
fittings out a bit. If you're using fire sleeve etc, getting a gear clamp
secured is a bit more difficult. Why not spread them out a bit? Of course
you may end up with cables that are too short. I replaced my throttle
cable with the RV7 length, and bought a McFarlane cable for the mixture.
All in all, it worked out well.

John,
I did not like having the other controls mixed in with the engine and prop
controls. I moved the Engine Alt Air to the left side of the panel apron,
next to the Oil Cooler Air butterfly valve control. The two cabin heat
controls on mid way on the right side of the apron. I replaced the provided
piece of angle for the engine controls with a new piece of aluminum (I bent
a piece of 0.050). In the attached photo the far left red control is for
Engine Alt Air. The black control next to it is for oil cooler air.
One other thing I did was to add a piece of 3/4" x 3/4" .063 aluminum
between the apron (near the engine controls) and the firewall. I did not
link the apron flex when moving the controls - the angle provides a much
more solid feel.
Note - this is the second panel in the RV-10. The first one lasted about 18
months. Since this photo the panel has again been twice modified to add the
Dynon Knob Panel (I don't know how I lived without it) and breakers and
light for a B&C aux alternator. My point being make sure you plan on panel
changes and modifications. You will not know what you want until after you
have some hours in the plane. For me replacing a panel is a new $27 panel
blank from Van's, cutting some holes and paint. If you get one of the really
nice custom panels your may find a modification harder to perform.
