Well, after removing the offending metal and cleaning up any signs of any sort of rust, then liberally coating it with rust inhibitor, I set to work on trimming the patch panel to fit. This little project is anti-fun. Between working overhead and the compound curvature of the area, it becomes an extreme pain to install the patch. After MUCH trimming, fitting, trimming, fitting, trimming, and fitting, I finally got it tacked-in place and looking decent. Did I mention, "what a pain"?
I have to give kudos to Tri-Plus on the patch panel- it is a quality piece- the perfect shape with plenty of extra to trim for fit, and heavier gauge metal than stock
