Matthew,
I think that's great advice - plan to follow it.

Wayne,
I did the modification to move the support ribs over several inches to
allow for a 'centering' of the instruments. It was a bit of work and
I probably wouldn't do it again. Primarily because it puts that center
instrument dead in line with the support rib between the fw and
subplanel. On my panel, right below the AH I have a KI-209A CDI that is
fairly long and I had a helluva time getting the connector attached to
it because the wires couldn't come straight into the back.
Personally, stick with the stock setup and just offset the instruments
a bit. It may save you some headache down the road.

Gang,
Moving that rib is easy, very easy.
Check out the entries on this page:
http://www.repucci.com/bill/instruments.html, starting at 1/9/06.
FWIW, I did not install the rib to the right of my Dynon, only the left
rib.
Another local builder (-7A) simply used a small section of angle to
attach the 1/2 rib in place.
Good luck,
Bill

Wayne,
Somewhere in the instructions they tell you that it is acceptable to cut
as many holes in that sub-panel as you need.
The trick is to support the radios and anything else that passes through
it.
This picture will give you a good idea of how I supported my radio and
transponder: http://www.repucci.com/bill/panel/radio%20stack%202.jpg
FYI, I made every effort to mount as much of my gear on the forward side
of the sub panel so you wouldn't see it with the canopy up. (I am
building a tip-up.) Because of this, I have mounted everything with
plate nuts and cap screws. Here is a picture of my Dynon blind encoder:
http://www.repucci.com/bill/instruments.html. If you blow it up, you
will see the black cap screws holding it in place.
Another trick I did was to put plate nuts on the bottom of the ribs and
sub panel lip so I could use Adel clamps and cap screws to hold all the
wires in place. Check out this picture:

Good luck,
Bill

I just clecoed the instrument panel and front cover on my tip up canopy
fuselage. It appears that the brace to the instrument panel centers the
ideal location for an attitude indicator. Does everyone just put up with
offset instruments?
Also the radios in my current plane are about 11 inches long including
the
harness (SL 30 and SL 60). The space ahead of the instrument panel and
the
bulkhead is only about 9 inches. Do you have to hack holes in the
bulkhead.
Do Vans designers have broken necks? Do they use very short radios?
