Time to cut the panel for the Comm and Transponder
I decided to use the same tactics as the EFIS panel cutout. The instructions say to leave a 0.040" gap between the units, to give them enough separation so that the locking tab on the bottom of each unit has room to slide in. So I cut some aluminum scraps and taped to the top of transponder "tube" to force the gap between it and the comm "tube". Here I've taped the units together and marked the exterior cutout on the back of the panel. Next comes the jigsaw with a metal cutting blade. After that, I'll smooth out the cut lines with a metal file and some sandpaper.
