Easy to do now but not so easy after the plane is flying. Your advise is appreciated.

I enlarged the holes for larger bushings and even createed extra ones. Boy was I glad I did! The space allowed by the designer is woefully too small, and almost impossible to enhance later. Do it now!
While you are at it, run extra wires for future "enhancements" or new gadgets you can't imagine at the moment. I ran six #22, two #20, one #18 and one RG400 coax from the panel shelf all the way to the baggage bulkhead and tied them off. The purists will frown and smirk at you, but just wait til they need to run another wire or two and you'll feel pretty smart
