Continuing my work on the panel.

This session was primarily drilling all the holes for the nutplates in the carbon panel and the bracket behind it.

All nutplates are installed. The top left corner of the left screen and the top right corner of the right screen are screwed all the way into the panel bracket (not just the insert).

All nutplates are riveted

Then I drilled the holes for the engine switches. The two bottom switches are locking switches, to prevent accidentally turning them off. I am also considering replacing the top switches with locking ones, because they are ignition / fuel pump switches, and therefore pretty much equivalent to the power switches anyway.

Honeywell switches installed
