Title: Avionics and Electrical
Met my weekly goal for a 6 day week. Continued test fitting of components on new panel. Things that fit: BNC bulkhead connectors, grommet for BNC cable, TOGA switch, Alternate Static Port switch, Circuit Breakers, GSB15, CO detector button and LED, ELT control panel, MyGoFlight mount, GMC507, install racks for GNX375 and GTR200. Things that didn't fit: Power Port (too small), Access Panel (too tight even after removal of portion of panel affected by overdriving a rivet. Also noticed all the access panel screws had been longer and cut to rough length), Ignition Switch (too small), 10K Vishay potentiometer (dimmer controls - too small), Otto K1 switches (height and width okay, but corner radius not small enough). Noticed that round holes for circuit breakers and ignition switches didn't seem to be cut cleanly with a small bump where the cut might have started and ended. Reviewed documentation and figured out how to install the racks for the GNX375 and GTR200 to the front panel and roughly marked hole location. Started McMaster Cart for screws needed for: ELT control panel, MyGoFlight mount, install racks, access panel, ground bus, and instrument panel mounting screws. Cut out center stack clearance hole in center bulkhead and added the 7 degree bend. Reinstalled the bulkheads and structure behind the panel to verify the new 7 degree bends didn't cause any fit problems and that the bulkhead surface was now flat. The clearance hole in the bulkhead may need to be enlarged on one side. Installed the top skin and test fit the panel again. It fits although it is tight against the top skin. Need to remove some tape, cleco more of the top skin and decide if I need to reduce the outside dimensions of the panel. I test fit the GMC507, G5, and GDU460 avionics in the panel.
