Instrument mounting, tubing runs
I tackled mounting the altimeter. Again, it took a long time to get the cutout for the kolsman knob made. I'd highly suggest buying a template for these cutouts if they exist. I also mounted the compass.
I went ahead and mounted the other instruments in place and attached the static tubing. This was pretty easy. I ordered a variety of fittings to use. It took me a little bit of testing to get the right combination. When I install the Dynon at some future date, I'll have to branch off the pitot/static lines and run over to the other side of the panel but that should be easy enough.
I ran a couple of #20 wires for the electric artifical horizon. I'm out of #20 wire now, so I need to order some more.
