Iam installing a 10" skyview screen. I am going to remove about 3" of f-745-l rib to accommodate the screen. I will have to build a bracket to reattach the f-703 instrument panel to the rib. Has anyone already done this? Dont want to reinvent the wheel.
 
This is a frequently asked question.

Try searching "panel rib move" under the RV-7 and RV-9 section of the forum.

(& check out my web site for one way to move that rib.)

You simply lay out your panel and then move the f-745 ribs to locations to clear your instruments. On mine, I have ribs on the right and left of the 10" dynons and then one support in the middle just to the left of the center stack. Cut them off, fabricate a 90 degree bracket and re-attach.
