Ttab Mod Shop Update: Revision

Just ordered up an EIS 4000 for the Tanarg build.  David - not as nice as yours, but this thing literally can replace every instrument on the panel with 10 times the info.  You can see what it all does here:

I got all the bells and whistles except for the Airspeed and Fuel Flow upgrades.   Now I've got to start thinking about cutting a big hole in my panel to install it.  And - what am I going to do with all the extra holes left behind by the other gauges?   I'm open for suggestions!   

I'll be getting rid of the Hour Meter, the CHT & Oil Press/Temp gauges.  I'll keep the RPM gauge as a backup.  Next pic here I'm playing around with a template as to where I'm going to have a rectangular hole cut into the panel .....

 

Moded the cable mixer cover.  I used a piece of UHWMP I had laying around and cut off some corner strips ...

 

I then glued them into position and filed them down for function.  For those not familiar with this mod, it prohibits the flimsy metal flanges on top and bottom from flexing when applying throttle.  This flexing problem effects carb balance.  What I'm attempting to do here is support the flanges from flexing.

 

Here you can see how the corner posts now cemented in place on the cover supports the top (and bottom) metal tabs.  It's a Tanarg thing!
