I suspect that no non-Europa PFA person saw it at all and
that all the mods on it are factory experiments, "tests of
future factory mods" under some type of "factory
exemption". G-KITZ flew from day 1 with the dual brake
master cylinder for finger brakes and the Mod (65 ?) only
came out 2 (?) years later.
So - yes the mods were signed off by a PFA inspector (Andy
or Neville) but I am sure there is no PFA documentation
associated with any of them.
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 :-)
