I decided to try using the plans composite panel and it seems it will work just fine. The aluminum panel was used as a template and guide. The Fein multitool and Irwin hand saw cut the longer straight lines. A few drill holes were made to ease cutting out the Dynon Knob Panel holes.
The Avidyne installation manual indicates a minimum panel thickness of .050 aluminum. The radio stack opening is cut at about 6.3" wide which is to narrow for the trays so I will need to open them up a bit. Some 2024 T3 3/4" angle will be used on the sides to accommodate the tray mounting screws.
The top left edge of the left Dynon display and right edge of the right display don't quite clear the rib on the back of the panel.
Some shelves and ribs will be added between F28 and the instrument panel for reinforcement and to accommodate the VPX and various Dynon modules.
