Bill, Wayne,
Bill, Great Photos and ideas. I have used many of your ideas in the wiring
of my RV-9. I especially found useful the idea about the Adel clamps on the
bottom of the ribs.
Many thanks,

Wayine: It's not the length of the radio it's the location in the
panel. Purchase the glove box and put it in. That will give you good
experience on how to cut the hole. Ron Russ EAA 286

Thanks Mike.
FYI - The reason I suggest using cap screws is so that they can be
easily removed in places you can't see to get a screw driver on a
Philips head screw.
I HIGHLY recommend this set from Sears:
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?cat=Hand+Tools%2C+General+Purp
ose&pid=00947477000&vertical=TOOL&subcat=Wrenches&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes
Although the set does not come with a hex bit, it does accept standard
size bits, so you might already have one in your shop.
I have also elected to use stainless steel 8-32 cap screws for my fuel
tank covers. By using this tool, the screws are very easy to insert and
remove.
Just another tip I thought I would pass along.
Bill
