We're down to the short strokes and working on the cockpit interior side 
panels on Ted's IVP.  I've got a couple of questions for those of you who have 
already fought this battle.... First, how did you deal with the outboard aft 
seatbelt attach points as regards the panels... provide a cutout to clear the 
belt or jog the panel outboard so the attach point is inboard of the bottom of 
the panel?  Did you go over the aileron actuator boxes or butt up against them 
fore and aft?  Did your panels drop straight down from the armrest, or did you 
put a kink in them to allow the bottom part to slope outboard (below the area 
that's needed to provide clearance for the elevator pushrods)?  Did you use 
L-brackets with nutplates to attach them or some other fastening method?  Any 
photos you could share (in process or completed with focus on those panels) 
would be greatly appreciated.  TIA
