I took the switches off the pcb and will be remote mounting the pcb on a bracket behind the panel. I want to make it easy to pull the inst panel.

Sorry, no pictures, I haven't finished it yet.

Do you really want an Expbus2? I have one and wish I didn't! Once installed its difficult to add new circuits (I know you don't think you will now, but ...). You will also need the annunciator panel to tell you what is going on. After 7 years I believe mine now has a pcb problem that gives me intermittent brown outs. I would buy Bob Nuckolls book and use a fuse panel - it's cheaper, more flexible and more reliable.

Hi Al,
Give me a buzz at the house before you spend your hard earned money. I really don't think you want one of these.

I installed mine right under the AFS-3500.
On the right side of the panel I have everything terminating at a dropdown panel with terminal strips. If I decide to change it down the road I can take out the terminal strips and install fuse blocks and redo with toggle switches. So far it looks good. I have seen about 5 of them at flyins and never heard any problems so far. We shall see.

Al,
I purchased the exp buss with the toggle switches, mounted it on the right switch panel. I would think you could mount the rocker switch type here to. By the way, the RV8 empennage kit I purchased from you has about 75 hrs on it now.

Great!
How are ya, Bill?
I didn't think the Circuit board would fit under that side panel. If so, thats a great spot for it. Where did you put the annunciator panel?

Annunciator panel location,
Sorry for the late response Al. Here's a full panel shot.
