 I am getting close to installing my cockpit module and I was
wondering if there are recommended things to do beyond what the manual
describes prior to installation.

On the trigear, later access to the tunnel to route and secure things,
like wires, battery cables and fuel lines, will be limited!  Even with
a bottom access panel  -- mine is 10" x 8", and metal clad on the
inside for transponder antenna ground plane.  Before installing the
module, I placed a bunch of stud mounting pads on the fuse bottom.
They're just  small chunks of 1/4" wood, chamfered on the edges, to
secure an AN-3 bolt sitting on its head.  Bonded and further secured
with 2 layers glass.


Thanks Fred. I was just about to post the same question.
