Sorry; the vernier mixture I mean! Just a pice of 4130 sheet with a bolt thru the original mixture control hole.
I really like that layout for a VFR low height panel.

Do you or anyone else here know a source for the panel N number placard/decals? I like yours, appears to be what the factory is currently using.
Check with your local trophy shop or sign printing shop. They usually have various materials for custom nameplates and such.

Minimum size vinyl letters they do are 1"... The RV guys and others likely have a source or two. I may just reach out to the ACA factory folks.

Gaah, hurricane might have ruined my electronic AHI. I have an RC Allen 2600. Gonna put it in rice. Bought it second hand so not a huge loss.
If dead, I am looking at the RC Allen Mini 6 to replace. I particularly like the consolidation of all 6 flight instruments onto one device for night flight. Combine with an engine monitor and an iPad for navigation, and I could eliminate separate cockpit lighting.

Do you use your EI-5 for fuel pressure? How do you like it? I am looking to replace my old Stewart Warner mechanical FP gauge, and the EI is over of the few options short of a full up EMS.

1977 7ECA, nice and simple, all within easy reach. Traffic display via battery-powered Stratus 3 and iPhone with Foreflight. I may spring for a panel-mount USB port to keep things charged, so I won't have to carry power banks for longer trips. The AA batteries on the panel shelf are spares for the headset. I like the low-profile panel. It feels like sitting at a low desk on a mountaintop.

Was going through here looking for ideas on my panel rebuild. Going in a 7ec experimental. My old panel is actually in here from one of the barnstormers panel idea posts.
This is what I've come up with so far. 29" wide 8.5" tall plus 1.5 for where the mixture and stuff is.
Any suggestions welcome, pretty well dead set on the JPI 830 and the Garmin 430 though.
