I was going to use this one as a pattern for a new one but after I started cleaning it I think it will be fine. One more original piece to re-use.

Finally got these back. At first glance they look really good. The passenger side didn’t have the access hole made so I’m sending it back today. The hole allows you to inspect the rudder cable connections.
More photos of the panel. I haven’t posted for a while but I’m still busy working on it. These photos show it after the white reflective paint was applied so the panel lights would reflect the light to the instruments.
I wired it in this morning. It sounds noisy but that’s normal for an Edo Aire unit. You won’t hear it once the engine is started.
Working on the ground connection behind the instrument panel.
