I made a chase from 6061 al for front hole on the left side and putfrt trottle in same then covered it with same leather that cockpittrim was made of. Its under left longeron and you realy can't tellits there. Also used electronic tack from westack, saves problemswith stiff tack cable ( easer to run 2 wire than that big mechanicaltack )Robert B.---steve(at)byu.edu wrote:>> I just tucked mine up under the upper longeron.
