Panel building info wanted
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.

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!

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
