I got back the engine control bracket from the welder. I’m using the bracket from Experimental Air, but I took about 1/2″ off the top to give myself a little more knee room. This required having a welder attach a new top plate so that it could be screwed to the bottom of the panel.
I used three screws to attach the bracket. The one in the middle required a hole in the bottom flange to allow me to use a straight screwdriver to access this screw.
I installed nutplates on the bottom flange of the instrument panel. I was a little concerned that the one on the left would interfere with the switches, but there’s over 1/4″ of clearance.
