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.

Here's why the bottom breakers are upside down. It puts the buss bars connecting the inputs together. The first breaker in the bottom row is the main output from the alternator so it is right side up so the output goes to the buss bars.
