in order to provide better positioning of some behind-the-scenes boxes.
Situation: I have an Aerotronics-built panel with the wires neatly laced, ready to be connected to the components. I have to clamp the wires out of the way, as well as find homes for the AFS AOA control box, a light dimmer, the LightSpeed ignition box, and two cooling fans. My initial attempt at positioning these boxes had them clamped on the side of the ribs and onto the subpanel.

Solution: A friend, after seeing this, suggested making a shelf and screwing it onto the bottom flanges of the ribs, thus providing more room. Here are a few photos, with more on my photo website. After following thru with his suggestion, and help in forming the shelf, I have excess room for installing everything.
