Dec 10, 2021     Misc Panel and control stuff - (2 hours)       Category: Instrument Panel
Decided to keep the original slip indicator in its original position, i.e. inverted on the front panel. For the rear panel, I'm using a new slip indicator that I already have. This new indicator is narrower than the original so this meant fabricating a mounting plate to attach to the original holes in the panel and the indicator to mount to it. I cut out the mounting plate from 0.125" sheet, drilled and tapped some 10-32 holes for the indicator screws to mount to. Notched the mounting plate to allow the slip indicator to sit as close as possible to the original panel. See attached pics. Also trimmed the new slip indicator so that the edges were flush and suitable for this new installation. See pics.
Mounted a microswitch for automatic fuel pump. This is a switch that will automatically turn on the fuel boost pump when the throttle is pulled back. Beautifully made mount, very simple concept, one of Dalotel's better ideas.
