[McMurphy]

Ok, when I started this very same repair, I thought I was doing something wrong, or my patch panel was misshapen somehow because I got this gap at the forward edge at the firewall.
I see now that you did too, so all is well in my little world, I know now that I will just have to make a small triangle patch to go in there.

I paintshopped your pic with an arrow to show exactly what I am blathering about.

Looking good man!!
I am right behind you on this part.
