I disassembled the subpanel structure and made a reinforcement doubler (just over 1" thick around the border) for the GTN/GNX subpanel openings - it will attach behind the subpanel, sharing a couple of holes with the subpanel angles that secure the center rib:
GTN/GNX subpanel cutout after finishing the edges
~1" doubler drawn out on sheet stock
Subpanel doubler cut out from stock
Subpanel doubler with pilot holes and bend to follow the subpanel contour
Subpanel doubler match-drilled in place
Opening up interior of the subpanel doubler by drilling out the corners
Finished subpanel doubler
With this, the subpanel is ready for primer, and I can start riveting the panel structure after that (though I'll leave the skin for later until I'm all done with the wiring harness).
