    Hi Paul,
    Believe it or not, they are the Tyco W31 series breaker switches.....only flush mounted..... I laid out the hole pattern I wanted on the instrument panel. I then bent a piece of 0.063 aluminum 90 degrees to make a doubler for the bottom if the IP. I clamped and match drilled through both pieces. I then installed the switches with nuts to the doubler behind the IP and bolted this assembly to the lower lip of the IP. Hopefully you can see it in the attached photo, it was rather simple to do.

    Thank you for the reply, Mike and what a great idea. The toggle switches look great and you've got a combined switch and CB, so don't have to have so many 'normal' round ones popping through the panel (excuse the very poor pun). I love some of the imagination and ingenuity that's shown by guys like you

    Yep, those latest photos make it very clear what you did and cleared up the question in my mind of how you secured the switches to the aluminium frame. I am considering the RockRack switches but if they prove to be a no-go then I will blatantly plagiarise your idea

    Panel coming together. Still missing the iPad mount. Messed up some of the labelling and have to redo it. The registration wasn’t supposed to be that big!

    Those both look very nice, Josh and Eddie. Eddie - did you know that the FAA has changed the required wording on the passenger warning placard? It is actually a little simpler and leaves out the "Amateur Built" part of the statement. The new required wording is - " Passenger Warning - this aircraft does not comply with Federal Safety Regulations for standard aircraft."

    I'm not sure if it's true, but I've been told that inspectors from now on will require the new wording. Any aircraft inspected and approved prior to the change don't have to make the change.

    AAHHHH! no I didn't know that. Back to the decal maker I suppose. Should be easy to change. I spent untold hours trying to get these decals made. White ink was almost undoable so on that particular decal you will notice that its silver and not white. The metalics are easy to produce and thankfully they come off pretty easily with alcohol. Thanks John

    Hmm, AS&S hasn't got the new Passanger Warning. Still selling the old I guess. Dang it.
