The covers I ordered for the defrost fans arrived today. I installed them to make sure of the fit, perfect. I will paint them to match the matte black of the rest of the build. I originally had planned to mount them on the top of the glare shield but quickly decided I liked them better mounted underneath.
The next task was to fabricate a mount for the GPS puck. I wanted to mount it so I could remove the glare shield without having to remove the GPS puck. I need to put sides on it yet.
I cut out the area behind the puck mount for the AOA cable and the GPS wire. Once the glare shield is covered, I'll add a bit of trim to prevent wire chaffing.
Next, I had to build up the area for the rear attach points of the AOA because the glare shield slopes down from the panel. So, I mixed up some resin and cut some pieces of fiberglass to lay up a ridge for the back of the AOA mount to rest on. Tomorrow I'll drill and mount a couple of lock plates for the screws. I'll mount a couple of wire keepers to hold the AOA cable in place.
Next will be a front cover for the gap, probably will make a fiberglass piece to fill the gap from the puck mount to the fire wall.
