Anyone know of a good website for instrument panel building info.

Not so much layout or cutting the panel, but wiring & plumbing a very basic panel.

 

Like choosing switches, wire , fuses, tubing & fittings.

Sequence of wiring & plumbing devices etc.

 

Thanks

Hi,

You might have a look at this book. I used it and it answered a lot of my questions and has good suggestions.

Most of the supplies are available here.

Just buy the electrical panel from Aircraft Spruce. Comes all labeled, wired and fused correctly. Real big time saver. Get the larger (not mini) panel... you can never have too many circuts. The back of the panel has a positive and negative bus....even labeled for you!

The book looks like good info.

I dont need to buy the hardware as  have all instruments & panel already.

Previous owner dissasembled the panel forward & didnt save plumbing or wiring.

Short answer is - there is not one! BUT the EAA has some great videos and tips - I use them in teaching... it takes time, but they are worth the efforts... try this for starters.... http://www.eaa.org/experimenter/articles/0903_aircraft_wiring.pdf
