Sub Panel Mounts

Tonight I worked on making the first mount for the sub-panel. This will house the GTR-20 remote com radio, and the GMA-245R remote audio panel.

Since my last blog post I’ve made multiple revisions to my plans for mounting the hardware. I’m reasonably happy with the final arrangement, and it’s good enough to get started building. I’m sure I’ll decide to change something else, but it’s time to get started making stuff.

Everything went according to plan, and it turned out alright. With no pre-punched or pre-formed parts the whole construction process took a lot longer.

Working on the shelf
The shelf will be connected to the panel and sub-panel via piano hinges. This allows for easy removal if needed for maintenance
Mostly complete shelf. Com radio on the bottom, and remote audio panel on the top
