I agree with Kirk.  The original fiberglass panel is pretty flimsy.  Mine has deformed over the years due to the weight of the attitude and directional gyros.  Also there is a lot of vibration.  My winter project is going to be installing an aluminum insert as Kirk suggests.  I'm going to cut out the main portion of the pilot's panel, leaving a flange around the edge to mount the aluminum insert.  I'm going to have the aluminum panel laser or plasma cut from an AutoCAD drawing I am working on.
