Trial fit the T/P/M cable template (repositions these cables at bottom of Panel, instead of just below on bracket to provide greater knee room). Stein Air's Nick Millard has done great job creating this template using 4 mounting screw locations as key reference point. I used to mark "half-moon" portions of lower crossmember to remove. Cables installed perfectly, only requiring removal of bracket mid-way back from Panel. Cable will be anchored to other existing shelf, and use original clamps on LH and RH side, and snap bushing in center. Designed a doubler to provide uniform contact surface for lockwashers/nuts (just above the crossmember). Nancy and I both tried them out with successful flights !
