Throttle quadrant
Mounted the throttle quadrant today. I had previously thought I would use the throttle knob, as well as mixture and prop pitch. I had made a piece that mounted on the bottom edge of the panel. That meant that the mounting screws were in the wrong place. The panel is also non-standard in that it is about 3/4" lower than the original. This meant I had some work to do. I had to relocate the nutplates that mount the quadrant to the panel bottom, and I had to come up with a way to fix the forward end of the quadrant to the subpanel. |  |
| This photo shows how I mounted the quadrant to the sub panel. I used the original bracket since it was already mounted and had the nutplates installed. |  |
