I will take some pictures for you. The 3tc-2 breakers will make a big difference.
The jumpers can be at the far end of the bus. That way it won't be so busy up where the alternator leads attach.

Jeff:

You may want to consider a spacer between the panel and the mounting holes. This would look like a license plate frame. I'll send you pictures. I would also encourage you to line the panel...

Jeff:

In looking closely at the new panel it appears that you have the taller 3TC breakers. Is there enough clearance on the back side for those? I love the picture of your old circuit panel,...

Jeff:

Somehow I missed your previous post. I'd be glad to help and share what I have learned. I had the same goal as you in keeping the original front faceplate. I think it's nice to ditch the thin...

Yes, just measured it at 3/8". I'd love to see a pic or your new circuit breaker panel. The shop that cut mine for me has the template in their computer. It would be no big deal to have another...

Hi:

I'm running off an avionics master breaker to a switch and then back to feed the entire avionics bus. You could run to two switches for a backup avionics switch if you want. As I recall the...

That sounds like a very good option. When you fit your wires mark a line on the wire for alignment of the terminal. This is important on the larger wires. Send pictures.

I'm skeptical of the quality of that crimper. If you save the $55 and measure and mark your wire you could send it to me and I'll crimp it for you. I'll even label it and shrink tube the terminals. I...

Hi:

There is going to be an avionics master switch on the panel. It will go from a breaker on the main bus to the switch and then back to power the shorter avionics bus on the lower row of the...
