Hi Tony
I installed a sub panel for the six standard instruments. The instruments were installed in a 3 mm aluminum plate, a hole cut to that size and the sub panel attached to the main panel by six countersunk machine screws. The sub pane is installed flush with the main panel - I added a narrow fiberglass backing strip, and the sub panel screws into anchor nuts - the type with the two holes for the pop rivets on the same side. Qutie a tight fit for a mono panel, but just about room. All the instruments have connectors - including the pitot static, which means you can get the sub panel out in about 5 minutes. It has worked well. It makes it easier to take the main panel in and out as you have 1) a big hole through which you can work behind the panel and 2) when you take the panel in and out, quite a lot of the weight has already been removed. if I did it all again, 10 years on, I wouldn't be installing gyro instruments, but would still go for a sub panel.
