I used cotton reel exhaust mountings, circular rubber mounts with a threaded stud each side, Two main benefits are slightly more room for Avionic fittings
And a complete shock mounted instrument panel,

One way I saw, and copied was to put a narrow lip around the inside of the
panel and then fix bolts into the lip
so they protrude through the firewall from the inside, that way the bolts
are concealed and it is easy to put nuts
on the firewall side. you can then just slide the panel in and spin a nut on
with the other hand. One thing i would
suggest is you make a cardboard template to drill the holes in both the
firewall and the panel lip or you may have
problems lining up the holes for the bolts

One thing I did was to mount two aluminum angles against the firewall. The instrument module then rests on this ledge while you put your first mounting screws in. I also made an inner flange along the top of the module to conceal the screws on the cockpit side.

At moment in process of mounting instrument panel.
Any ideas on how to make a ramp/guide/shelf near lower mounting to aid installiation would be appreciated.
Thx.

You are probably right. But my 'shelf' is an aid when installing/removing a very awkward module without anyone helping you.
And I do have a gap at the bottom C caused by rubber spacers for all screws C top and bottom.

An extra shelf or mounting bracket is unnecessary. The panel does
quite well hanging on the top bolts and resting on the tunnel. I would
not close the gap between the bottom panel and the firewall because
it aids ventilation. My panel does not move or vibrate even during 3-4g
akro.
