-7 Slider sub panel modification to accommodate radio trays.
Because I'm just starting the wiring for the basic system (not avionics), I decided that the GTR-200B and GNX-375 trays should be installed. This will help in deciding wire routes as they are significant obstructions.
Searching VAF shows plenty of photos of the finished product, sub panels cut-out with angles installed to support the trays...
My conundrum is: How to make the incision in the sub panel accurately?
Can't find any information on this process.
I see many sub panels with the trays fitted precisely. My fear is butchering the sub panel or at least having a gaping hole.
My radio trays are fitted to the instrument panel in a way where the IP can't be fixed in place with the trays installed because the trays hit the sub panel...meaning with the instrument panel in place the trays can't be slid up to the sub panel for marking
Any hints on this process will be helpful.
