RV-7 Tip up sub Panel, DWG 24A
Building up the sub panel assembly and noticed there looks to be a bend line about 2-3" up form the bottom of the sub panel to accommodate the slight tilt forward of the sub panel. This forward bend is also reflected on the upper portion of the firewall. I haven't been able to find anything in the plans or other builders saying anything about making a defined crease in either the sub panel parts (F-768) or the firewall. Are they fine to just be flexed into the right orientation or should I be providing strain relief and a crisp bend line to accommodate the geometry?
