Today I installed the new cover for the console and began work on the brake plumbing. I need to replace the line from the reservoir to the master as it interferes with the trim switch. Replacement parts now on order.

Here's a decent picture of the new panel all lit up. As far as I can tell, everything works now. I still need to set up the GRT Sport SX, MicroAir 760 Radio and MicroAir T2000 Transponder.

And then another 7 lbs of alternator H/W and about 4 lbs of Whelen strobe/lights/power supply. That sleek piece in the lower left is one of the 6 oz AEROLED Nav/Strobe units replacing the Whelens.
