[rebel-builders] Rebel instrument panel
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:26 pm
Cris,
I would think it would be simple to fabricate. If someone has one that hasn't been installed yet it would be easy to trace and reproduce. From what I remember it is pretty flat with a couple of bends. If you still are looking in a couple of months I can trace mine for you. I am currently in Hawaii but getting transfered out of here the end of the month and I should be back on my farm (where my Rebel kit is) around the first of April.

up to the instrument panel. Did NOT install instrument panel. I noticed it was an ELITE panel, (rounded on top). The ELITE panel was shipped in the orig. kit due to the fact that the orig. owner had intended to outfit the Rebel with the Rotec 7cyl. radial engine.
I plan on installing a conventional opposed engine. I wish to fabricate a standard Rebel instr. panel out of 6061. It would seem I could do so with just two measurements. The height of the panel, excluding the channel on the bottom, and the width of the center section of panel. Or should I just order one from Murphy and cease building for two weeks? Any help would be appreciated. Cris 719R
