You might consider contacting Rob or Jonathon at Advanced Flight. They're very knowledgable about RV's. Another avenue might be the Advanced Flight forums, or maybe the Dynon Forums.

Thanks It’s a little more clear as I review sections 55 & 59. I’ll be working with AFS soon as they build my panel.
Just finished about two months ago. I'd suggest after you receive your panel package to install the ACM, ground bar, shunt, and the remote items. After that I'd suggest running all the loose wires first, then the harnesses. Label everything. Don't install the EFIS until the very end. Add a service loop for the EFIS wiring as you'll be pulling it out to access the ACM area behind. Focus on one item/area at a time and take notes as to what isn't finished. Practice your crimping skills before you start. Have fun.

Larry, I struggled to come up with a way to get all my wires, antennas and pito and static lines up from the tunnel to behind the panel. I ended up putting snap bushings in the forward tunnel, cover and running all of my Iines up to those snap bushings. Ended up being four total snap bushings for everything. I think it worked out pretty good and I don’t have any worries about anything chafing.

Thanks for tips! I should be getting the full package from Advanced next month. By the way, anyone else frustrated that there was no warning that the canopy latch wiring had to go through that tiny gap under the canopy side? I hope I can pull the wire with fishing line!

Larry take a piece of safety wire and fish it thru the canopy rails tape on your wires and pull it thru with that

The Wiring Channel Assembly, F-14106, is designed to route the fuse wiring up to the panel; no holes, cutting or bushings needed - it's slotted for zip ties. What you have will work fine, the channel just keeps the harness nicely hidden.

I agree with this. Reality slapped me in the face after I put in the circuit breaker panel built by Stein. It takes up part of the space
you are describing. I’m not knocking Stein, they did a tremendous job. It’s just a lot for the area. The slanted circuit breaker attachment bracket
is the way to go because it frees up the entire channel on F-14106.
Isn't that the truth!! If I had it to do over again, I'd use the slanted panel, that would solve the problem. The trade off would be the added difficulty of accessing the fuel pump. I think I'd rather have additional parts to remove for access rather than do all that work to get the harness from the tunnel to the panel.
