Latintan1, what did you use for an audio panel with two radios? I like your setup!
getting there one wire at a time.

Panel design (removable middle section) has been a good learning experience.
Here's a new panel we just completed for an RV-6 in our hangar. From mid 90s VFR to modern IFR for a local airline captain.
What's on your firewall ?I've had my 6.9i since 1 December 2018... quite a few hours of avionics yoga were spent under the riveted panel, wedged between the manual flap handle and the throttle quadrant... from a pure VFR yellow panel into today's latest iteration
PS
The right side of the panel is usually covered by the iPad mini in a Xnaut cooling case on a RAM mount running the very popular (on the old continent) SkyDemon app.

Thanks! They’re just nylon P-clips as you suggest. I put some tesa wiring loop tape around the wire where it’s clamped. Some example links:IO390,
Beautiful work! Nice looking plane! May I ask what the white plastic items are around the larger wire bundles? Plastic adel or "P-clamps"? And what is the black under them? Looks like a great way to tidy the bundles. Stealing ideas for a Bucker panel I'm wrapping up. Thx!!
Cheers,

Carl's #1 rule: "build so you do never have go inverted under the panel.You will never regret taking the time now to end years of pain from a panel that you have to crawl under to do anything.
Of note - I’m working a panel for an RV-6A builder (Dual SkyView, GPS-175 and Garmin NAV/Comm). On this panel we made a bottom apron (like the stock RV-10 panel) to mount all the stuff that stays in the plane when removing the panel (switches, cabin heat, engine control cables and such). Once the top portion of the panel is out you have full access to all this stuff. When installed, panel plus apron height remained the same as the stock RV-6 panel.

Never on your back with your head under the panel…..
