Glare Shield

      Hi Folks
      
      Just a quick question.  I was just drilling out the F-821 top skin, (over 
      the instrument panel & baggage compartment).  Shortly, I have to cut out 
      the area for the glare shield which also allows the roll bar to fit.
      
      Vans shows a suggested cut out area for the glare shield.  Has everybody 
      followed their suggestion or has anyone suggested any change to this detail 
      to allow more sun shielding for the new style EFIS equipment which is 
      showing up everywhere for example?
      
      Thanks for your thoughts.

      Brian,
      I don't have EFIS in my bird and I followed Van's suggestion. However 
      extending the cutout aft would probably be a good idea for EFIS 
      installations....however, to protect ones' head in a disaster it might be 
      prudent to make a normal cutout and then create an attachable padded 
      glareshield out of .016 alum. instead of the .032. (Hopefully it will mangle 
      before slicing through the gray matter!)
      I did this for a friends F1 Rocket with EFIS and it works quite well.
      I did have to run the screws in from the bottom, but I put foam on the top 
      covered with naughahyde and they are barely noticeable. (Your results may 
      vary)   :-)
