Additions to firewall instrument panel questions

[jiott]

Mine may have been one of the posts where my panel rotated aft for access. I wired it as it was laying down flat so there would be enough extra wire to allow it. All I have to do for access is remove the 4 bolts under the bottom edge, remove the glare shield, and unbolt to two upper braces. Then the panel can be rotated 90 degrees to a horizontal position with great access to all the stuff behind the panel.

I have photos, but they won't upload.

Thanks gents. I'll check the manual for any location details on the items mentioned.



As to the panel: I'm considering putting the panel on the mounting lugs/tabs via a hinge or sections of hinges. That way (so the story goes) there is little chance that it can get away from you after unbolting the two back bolts at the top of the rear panel for additions or maintenance.



If the picture issue has been resolved, I'll add one or two showing the modification I made to the bars that mount to the top of the rear panel.


Update: it appears the solution to uploading pictures is still in work.
