Steve,
  In addition to = the mounting=20 brackets you bond to the side of the fuselage, Lancair recommends one = support=20 bar attached between the plane and the top center of the backside = of the=20 panel made from aluminum tubing with the ends flattened so you can put a = bolt or=20 screw through them. I don't recall = the chapter,=20 but it's in the manual.
   When I did this I found = that the upper=20 sides of my panel could move (flex) quite a bit.  To fix that I = added two=20 additional support bars that attach to the panel on either side of=20 center just before it begins curving down.  All three of the = supports=20 are anchored on the shelf behind the panel and I have countersunk #10 = phillips=20 screws attaching them to the top edge of the panel.  Countersinking = was=20 necessary so the screws didn't stick up and interfere with the = glareshield.  I believe I put nutserts in the panel ends of the = supports=20 and used AN-3 bolts on the shelf ends.  My panel is rock solid with = this=20 configuration.  Sorry, but I couldn't find any photos of the back = of my=20 panel to illustrate this for you.
