Brief Description:  Fitting Lexan Instrument Panel Mockup - Part 1

Fitting the Lexan instrument panel mockup to panel mounts turned out to be fairly straight forward. Cutting the mounts down to allow the three GRT HX displays to fit all the way to the top was kind of tricky as there wasn't much mount left after I got done hacking away. I fabricated a .063" brace for the center that actually really stiffen the structure up nicely. I added another row of mounting screws all the way round, which should also help. The installed panel is actually pretty sturdy, even made out of Lexan. I can only image that the .125" 2024-T3 will be plenty strong.
