August 21, 2007 - Panel

 I finished drilling the last remaining holes in the panel -- the LED indicators, mini-switches, and dimmer.  Next step was to rivet the map box and Dynon mounting bracket to the panel.  I back-riveted them because I wanted the panel face to be blemish free. 

The flanges were narrow on both the mapbox and Dynon mounting bracket, so I had to back-rivet at a slight angle.  The shop heads weren't perfect but that's no big deal.  The panel face looked great which was the important thing.
