Music: ELO and Elton John

The trim indicators and manual prop switch holes need to be cut today. I’ve also ordered the paint for the panel that matches the interior panels, it should be ready tomorrow morning so I’ll paint it once I’ve cut the rest of the holes in the panel.

Same procedure to cut the holes for the trim indicators. Finishing the holes with a file.
A trial fit of the indicators. Looks about right.
The panel and centre console installed to trial cable runs. Looks quite good even if i say so myself! With all the cut outs I need to strengthen the panels I’ll attach some aluminium angle behind the panel with fibreglass.
The final control to be installed is the manual switch for the prop. The cut out is made in the same way but I’ve decided to install this control in the centre console just in front of the throttle.
