William Le Ferrand said:Hello BT,
I've started a little panel design tool here at https://accret.io . The idea is that you start from a blank pane and start dragging avionics around. Once you are happy with the result, you can order a 1:1 plastic version of the overlay to check in your plane and if the result is still satisfying then you can go with the real aluminium one, powder coating, etc.
So far only the PA-28 is available and the set of avionics is limited, but I can add anything needed (or you can, the tool itself is open-source)
I'll take any feedback
Cheers
William

If anyone has panel CAD drawings he'll add them. He already has PA28s but needs more makes/models.
Also anyone who has instrument installation manuals that wouldn't mind pulling the pages from the PDF showing the dimensions would probably be helpful too.

For those unfamiliar, Github is kinda like social media for software developers. If you register on github there is a forum for each project under "issues" by which you can attach files and converse with the programmer.
Those with stock avionics could be a lot of help too, by providing measurements to the original locations of the factory instruments, to ensure proper clearances on any new panel layout.
