Hi! All.
I missed the question which must recently have been posed about "access
to rear of panel through Fire Wall" At least one of the Europa
demonstrators had such facilities .....probably G-KITS. I have a PFA
approved mod. and have embodied the facilities in G-PTAG in two areas.
a) above the P1 footwell to the rear of the instrument area.
b) and also an additional one behind the early Jabiru air cooler
providing access to the rear of the radio stack.
I would have to think very hard about doing a repeat since the panel is
very cluttered in there especially with many vacuum pipes to get past to
the electrical wiring. (Which being a wiring novice is like a rats nest
!)
However the main reason for my decision to make the panel a permanent
fixture was wanting to retain continuity of engine monitoring wires
without using connector blocks.

"As a matter of interest is there a nice hole in the
firewall to get access behind the panel ? And if so what
are its construction details and size ?
Of course this is only surmise and I may be completely
wrong :-)"
Yes Richard you are wrong. G-KITZ did not have an access panel through
the
fire wall (and I have the pictures to prove it). There are better and
safer
ways of access to the panel.
